The video tutorial explains the standard algorithm for addition, focusing on adding larger numbers and using vertical alignment to ensure correct place value. It demonstrates the process of adding numbers greater than 1000, including regrouping when necessary. The tutorial also covers adding more than two numbers using the same method, emphasizing the importance of aligning digits by place value and regrouping when sums exceed 9. The video concludes by highlighting that these methods can be applied to any size and number of addends.
