The video tutorial introduces the concept of perimeter, using a Jurassic Park analogy to explain it as the boundary around a shape. It differentiates perimeter from area and provides a step-by-step guide to calculating perimeter using square units. Examples of perimeter calculation for different shapes are demonstrated, and alternative methods for calculating perimeter without squares are discussed. The video concludes with practice exercises for viewers to apply their learning.

What is the perimeter of a shape?
