The video tutorial explains how to compare three-digit numbers by examining the digits in the hundreds, tens, and ones places. It uses examples of jars with marbles and boxes of crayons to illustrate the concepts of ascending and descending order. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of comparing the hundreds first, followed by the tens and ones if necessary, to determine the greatest or smallest number.
