00:00Oh, no! The crane!

00:02The crane's missing 12 screws!

00:06Let's find those screws.

00:08And fix the crane before it falls.

00:10We need 12 screws.

00:12And we only have eight.

00:14How many more do we need?

00:15Let's activate the mecha modeler.

00:17We can use a number line to help us with addition.

00:19We can count how many lines there are between numbers,

00:22and then we can figure out how many more we need.

00:25We know there are eight screws, so let's count to eight.

00:28One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight.

00:32Now, let's find the number 12 on our number line.

00:35How many lines are there between eight and 12?

00:37One, two, three, four.

00:39Eight screws...

00:41Plus four screws...

00:42Equals 12 screws total!

00:44Mecha Elmo hopes that Abby will find the four screws!

00:50Found him!

00:55We did it!
