This video tutorial teaches students how to self-check their math operations by using inverse operations. It focuses on the concept of 'real proof' for division, explaining how multiplication can verify the correctness of a division operation. The tutorial also covers how to handle divisions with remainders by adding the remainder to the product of the quotient and divisor. The lesson concludes with a summary and farewell message.
