Adding Different Units – a OneDublin.org Math Tutorial Video

Many students are confused when adding different units – even though the approach for adding different units (feet / inches, hours / minutes) is really the same as adding integers.  This OneDublin.org Math Tutorial Video seeks to eliminate the confusion of adding different units with a simple, step-by-step method.  The method is explained using a series of short examples, starting with adding integers (something elementary school children are comfortable with).  The method as applied to integers is then applied to numbers with different units (feet / inches, hours / minutes).
