Counting and Basic Subtraction Problems

The video tutorial guides viewers through solving simple arithmetic problems using real-world scenarios. It begins with an introduction to problem-solving, followed by four distinct problems: calculating the number of red apples, determining the number of bananas in a fruit bowl, finding the number of dogs with black fur at an animal shelter, and calculating how many people want hot dogs at a grill out. Each problem is solved by identifying known quantities, using simple arithmetic, and counting to find the unknown quantity.
