Addition Is Easy (1948)

In this educational film, Billy Thompson learns to add his savings to determine if he has enough money to buy a set of paints and a baseball bat. He breaks down his money into different denominations (pennies, dimes, quarters, and dollars) and practices addition by arranging them visually. By adding from both the top and bottom, he confirms he has enough money to purchase both items and understands the concept of place value in addition.
