The video tutorial covers the concepts of surface area and volume for three-dimensional shapes, focusing on rectangular prisms and cubes. It explains the difference between surface area, which involves covering the outside of a shape, and volume, which involves filling the inside. The tutorial provides real-world examples, such as filling a pool with water, to illustrate volume. It introduces the formula for calculating volume (length × width × height) and discusses the use of cubic units. The video includes example calculations, handling both decimals and fractions, and emphasizes the importance of labeling units correctly.
