This video tutorial by Math Antics teaches how to add mixed numbers. It covers the basics of mixed numbers, which are combinations of whole numbers and proper fractions, and explains how to add whole numbers to mixed numbers, fractions to mixed numbers, and mixed numbers to each other. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of simplifying fractions and handling improper fractions. It also addresses the challenge of adding mixed numbers with unlike fractions by finding a common denominator. The video concludes with a summary and encourages viewers to practice the concepts learned.

What is a mixed number composed of?
