The video tutorial teaches how to add and subtract fractions using a structured approach. It introduces the concept of the 'fraction for square' method, where each square represents a step in solving fraction problems. The tutorial covers writing the problem, finding equivalent fractions using the least common multiple (LCM), and solving and simplifying the fractions. A practice problem is provided for students to apply the learned steps.

What is the purpose of using the fraction for square method?

• To memorize multiplication tables

• To organize steps for adding and subtracting fractions

• To learn division of fractions

• To solve algebraic equations
