Solving Two-Step Word Problems with Bar Models

The video tutorial explains a math problem involving biscuits in two tins. Initially, there are 84 biscuits in one tin and 48 in another. After 97 biscuits are eaten, the task is to determine how many are left. The tutorial uses a bar model to visually represent the problem, showing the total number of biscuits and how many are eaten. By adding the biscuits from both tins, the total is calculated as 132. Subtracting the 97 eaten biscuits results in 35 biscuits remaining. The tutorial emphasizes understanding through visual representation and basic arithmetic operations.
