The video tutorial explains multiplication as a shortcut for addition, highlighting its efficiency. It introduces the concept of abbreviations and acronyms, using multiplication as an example of repeated addition. The commutative property of multiplication is discussed, showing that the order of numbers does not affect the result. Visual aids are used to demonstrate multiplication, emphasizing its practical application and understanding.
