The video tutorial introduces mental math strategies for addition and subtraction, emphasizing the use of number sense rather than counting. It covers the concept of tidy numbers, which involves making multiples of ten, and the doubling strategy for quick addition. The tutorial also explains subtraction strategies, highlighting the inverse relationship between addition and subtraction and using tidy numbers as a bridge for easier calculations.
