The video tutorial explains the concept of volume using the analogy of boxes of matches. It highlights the inconsistency of using non-standard units and introduces the need for a standard unit of measurement, specifically the cubic centimeter. The tutorial further explains how to calculate the volume of a cube by using the formula for cubic measurement, demonstrating with a small cube of 1 cm edge and a larger cube with a 4 cm edge. The larger cube's volume is shown to be 64 cubic centimeters, illustrating that it contains 64 smaller cubes.

Explain what it means when it is stated that the volume of the larger cube equals 64 centimeters cubed.

How many small cubes fit into the larger cube based on their volumes?
