00:00Well, as we mentioned earlier, today we are going to talk about the basics of addition.
00:08I love addition, I love it very much, I love addition, I add up all my stuff.
00:15I know, the voice of an angel.
00:19Alright so really, why do I love addition?
00:23Why do I love addition?
00:25And why should you love addition?
00:29Well, I love addition because addition is so simple and so much fun.
00:35We're going to show you, we're going to prove to you that addition is so simple and so much
00:40fun, you're going to have a great time doing it.
00:45Okay so you might be wondering, what is addition?
00:48What do we do when we do addition?
00:49Well addition is putting numbers together.
00:52It's like a great game of putting numbers together, okay?
00:58Addition is putting numbers together.
01:02Now we're going to show you exactly how this works by talking about this sport.
01:10Do you know what sport this is?
01:14Yeah, this is golf.
01:21This lady hit the golf ball and she's hoping that the golf ball goes into the hole.
01:29We're pulling for you Sally, don't know if you actually got the ball in the hole, but
01:33we're pulling for you Sally, you can do it Sally, you can do it, you see she's so excited,
01:39she doesn't know, she doesn't know, but we don't know either so anyway.
01:45All we can do is guess, we don't really know Sally all that well, but let's pretend that
01:50Sally loves golf and let's pretend that Sally likes to collect golf balls.
02:01So Sally is playing with one golf ball, let's say that's the only golf ball she has with
02:07her right now, she's got one golf ball, but she finds another golf ball by a tree.
02:18So she had one golf ball and then she found another one.
02:24We need to put these numbers together, don't we, to find out how many golf balls she has
02:29now.
02:30Putting numbers together, that's addition, that's addition.
02:38So now we put these two numbers together, she had one golf ball, she found another one,
02:45so let's add both of those balls, how many do we have, yeah, two, Sally now has two golf
02:57balls.
02:58Good job Sally.
03:01Oh addition, I knew I loved you, oh addition, all you are is just putting numbers together,
03:09so simple, so fun, a game anyone can play.
03:16Well you know Sally, you know Sally, she went back to that golf course the very next day,
03:24because remember she loves golf, right?
03:28And of course Sally brought her two golf balls, because remember, she had one golf ball and
03:33she found another one, so now she has two.
03:36But you know what, she had a great day at the course and she actually found two more
03:42balls.
03:43I know, isn't that crazy?
03:46Sally is really great at finding golf balls, she found two more balls.
03:54Now we have to find out how many golf balls she has.
03:57Wait a second, we're putting numbers together, it's addition, it's time, we're going to get
04:04to do addition again.
04:06Remember addition is putting numbers together.
04:08She had two balls and now she's found two more balls and we get to find out how many
04:14she has.
04:15Now that's addition, putting numbers together.
04:21So she had two balls and she's found two new ones, so we need to find out what two plus
04:27two is.
04:28What a great addition problem, what's two plus two?
04:34If you don't know, you can actually just count the golf balls.
04:38What's two plus two?
04:40Yeah, four, two plus two equals four.
04:49Remember addition is putting numbers together.
04:54Two plus two equals four, that's addition, putting numbers together.
05:04Oh bless her heart, Sally's at it again, she's back at the golf course to collect more golf
05:13balls.
05:16So Sally brings all of her golf balls, now she has four of them.
05:21She brought all four to the golf course.
05:26Well she looked high and low and wouldn't you know it, she found three golf balls during
05:32her time at the golf course.
05:34I know, she's so good at collecting golf balls.
05:39Now we need to figure out how many golf balls she has and yes, we're putting numbers together
05:44so it's going to be an addition problem.
05:48She had four golf balls and now she has three more golf balls.
05:54So what is four plus three?
06:00Remember, with addition we're just putting numbers together so if you need help, you
06:07can actually count the number of golf balls on the screen.
06:12What's four plus three?
06:15Yeah, four plus three equals seven.
06:23She has seven golf balls now.
06:26Great job adding.
06:31Well now you know the basics of addition and now you know why I love addition so much.
06:38In the comments below, tell us how much you love addition because it's fun, right?
06:43It's simple, it's fun.
06:45Where's Sally?
06:46Where's Sally?
06:47Ah, there she is, there she is, there's our little star.
06:52Thanks for helping us count how many golf balls she got.
06:55And remember, addition is just putting numbers together.
06:59We hope to see you next time.
