Volume Problems and Problem Solving

The video tutorial covers solving routine and non-routine problems involving the volume of cubes and rectangular prisms. It explains the difference between routine and non-routine problems, provides a step-by-step solution to a routine problem involving a stock room, and tackles a non-routine problem with an aquarium. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the problem, planning, executing the plan, and checking the solution.
