Addition! | Level 1 | Numberblocks

By Numberblocks

Summary

## Key takeaways - **Addition as combining groups**: The video visually demonstrates addition by showing how individual Numberblocks combine to form larger numbers. For example, one block plus one block equals two blocks. [03:09], [09:14] - **Numbers as sums of smaller parts**: Each Numberblock is shown to be composed of smaller units, illustrating that larger numbers are essentially sums of their constituent parts. For instance, Number Two is presented as two ones. [03:15], [04:50] - **The 'Terrible Twos' and multiplication**: The concept of 'terrible twos' is introduced as two groups of two, visually representing multiplication as repeated addition, where two lots of two equal four. [01:05], [04:11] - **Building numbers sequentially**: The video progresses through numbers 1 to 10, showing how each subsequent number is formed by adding one to the previous number, reinforcing the concept of counting and sequential addition. [09:05], [10:43] - **Addition and subtraction are inverse operations**: The video demonstrates the relationship between addition and subtraction by showing how adding one can be reversed by subtracting one. For example, four plus one equals five, and five minus one equals four. [18:40], [19:03] - **Complex additions shown with Numberblocks**: The video illustrates more complex additions, such as stopping a train by adding numbers sequentially, showing that 1+2=3 and 3+2=5, and also demonstrates how larger numbers can be broken down into sums, like 14 being 8+6. [19:25], [43:44]

Topics Covered

  • How numbers are built from fundamental blocks.
  • Sequential operations transform numbers predictably.
  • How numbers combine to form new values.
  • Decomposing numbers using the tens place.
  • Discovering the geometric structure of numbers.

has a 10 inside you see you are greater

than ten and you've got Big Dreams you

want fun well fun it is and right now is

where you start playing

okay let's pump those numbers

that's right now give me some squats

let me see you do the jump and bump

ten plus one eleven

ten plus two is twelve

ten for three is thirteen

oh ten plus four is forty

five

ten plus five is fifteen

terrific now let's stretch our turns huh

nice and tall

oh

link those ones high in the air take it

away eleven minus one

twelve minus two is ten

thirteen minus three is ten

fourteen minus four is ten

minus five is ten

oh

ready let's work those tens yeah

rectangle with a hole and freestyle yeah

[Laughter]

[Music]

if this is tens place where are the tens

um

say we make this floor three's place

every everyone off

ten eleven twelve thirteen fourteen

15.

oh welcome to oh it's a bit high up here

put me down

all of you are bigger than me and so

make yourself shorter

this is even shorter

you've all got a three inside you oh

well except for 13. he already pinged

apart into 10 and me oh

teen you're one more than 13. extreme

14.

minus one a close 13.

and for my next trick twelve plus one

equals

[Music]

15. let's say ten and five but I want

ten and three and three is two less than

five so let's pop off a two

five minus two okay close

ten and three

ten and one plus two equals

okay ten and three there now everybody

Stand Tall

when I say go go go my lovely thirteen

[Music]

[Music]

I can't wait to visit the pattern Palace

is it far this

is around this Ridge if you can cross

the balancing Bridge

[Music]

thank you

today

[Applause]

[Music]

whoops

I guess I forgot to put the safety locks

on

I say we go softly softly like this

[Music]

we need to balance the bridge out before

15 falls off but I'm not big enough to

do it alone 10 is less than 15. you need

15 blocks to balance me out but 15 is 10

and 5. so it's Island a hand

oh two plus five equals 15.

foreign

we need to reach The Far Side so we can

lock the bridge I can do this I am three

by four I am a rectangle wow that is

cool

[Music]

what's going on oh 12 needs balancing
