The video tutorial teaches the conversion of metric measurements, focusing on converting from higher to lower units and vice versa. It explains that converting higher units to lower units involves multiplication by 10, 100, or 1000, while converting lower units to higher units involves division by the same factors. Examples include converting hectograms to grams, kilolitres to litres, millimetres to metres, and centigrams to grams. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the place value system and the multiplication or division factors involved in metric conversions.
