This video tutorial teaches how to determine the volume of a prism by analyzing its layers and counting cubes. It begins with a review of cubic units, explaining that they can be of any size and are used to measure the volume of 3D objects. The tutorial then demonstrates how to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism by counting the number of cubic units in each layer. It shows that regardless of the orientation of the prism, the volume remains the same. The lesson concludes by reinforcing the concept of volume calculation through layer analysis.
