■ Video Title: Addition and Subtraction of Small Numbers
■ Duration: ~4 min
■ Topic: Basic Arithmetic – Addition & Subtraction
1. Key Concepts
- Addition means combining numbers.
- Subtraction means taking away numbers.
- Use counting objects or fingers to understand.
- Practice with small numbers first.
2. Definitions
- Addition (+): Joining two or more numbers to get a bigger number.
- Subtraction (–): Removing a number from another to find what remains.
3. Steps / Methods
- For addition: Start with the first number, then count forward the second number.
- For subtraction: Start with the bigger number, then count backward the smaller number.
- Use visuals (apples, balls, fingers, drawings) to make it clear.
4. Examples / Problems
- Example 1: 2 + 3 = 5
- Example 2: 4 + 1 = 5
- Example 3: 5 – 2 = 3
- Example 4: 6 – 4 = 2
5. Important Formulas / Rules
- a + b = c (Addition rule)
- c – b = a (Subtraction rule – reverse of addition)
6. Keywords / Cues
- Add = Combine
- Subtract = Take away
- Count forward / backward
- Small numbers first
7. Summary (2–3 lines)
- Addition and subtraction are the two basic arithmetic operations.
- Addition joins numbers, subtraction removes numbers.
- Using objects or fingers helps beginners practice with small numbers easily.
