Making sense of algorithms

As mentioned in the previous post of “How to model place values and their relationship”,

(https://connect2context.com/2025/12/11/how-to-model-place-values-and-their-relationship/) place value gives meaning to numbers and shows their magnitude. Understanding place value helps one to find meaningful connections between mathematical operations. Also, it helps one reason the logic behind the formulae and algorithms we use by rote memorizing.

To start with, here is a video to explain how the addition algorithm works.
