Mastering Addition to Make Ten

The video tutorial guides students through solving two basic addition problems: 3 plus blank equals 10 and 6 plus blank equals 10. The instructor uses visual aids, such as circles and boxes, to help students understand how to find the missing number in each equation. The video encourages students to pause and attempt solving the problems independently before following along with the guided solution.
