 Logic Mastery
 Amazing, Amusing, Amorous,  Delicious, Delightful, Edifying, Strengthening Elixir. 
It eases work & learning difficulties Makes the hard easier. Opens eyes. Leads to greater precision.
in reading and writing

Do not leave here without it -  Logic mastery  will develops critical thinking, improve reading and writing, and give a firmer base for work and studies at many levels. Good luck.

Videos on Decimal Addition Methods

  1. [Play Video] 2½ minutes. This video explains methods for addition of whole numbers, this  without carries, first with decimal expansions and then with decimal column methods. A single example is given.
  2. [Play Video] 7 minutes.  This video explains methods for addition of whole numbers, this time with carries, first with decimal expansions and then with decimal column methods. Many examples are given.
  3. [Play Video] 2 ½ minutes. This video shows illustrates column methods for the addition of intervals of time in the presence of carries.  Here sixty seconds are replaced by one minute and  sixty minutes are replaced one hour. The aim is to improve understanding of column methods for addition of whole numbers or intervals of time  given by mixed units, here days, hours and seconds.
