Estimating Sums and Visual Methods

The video tutorial explains how to add more than two numbers using different methods. It covers estimation by rounding numbers, using bar diagrams to visualize addition, and applying the partial sums method. The tutorial also demonstrates column addition with regrouping. The example of adding 137, 155, and 18 is used throughout, with an estimated sum of 320 and an actual total of 310, showing the reasonableness of the estimate.
