The video tutorial introduces the RDW process, which stands for Read, Draw, Write, as a method for solving math problems. It demonstrates how to use tape diagrams and place value discs to model and solve problems, such as counting flowers and calculating study hours. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of visual representation and understanding the problem before deciding on operations. It concludes with a discussion on the benefits of the RDW process in helping students tackle complex word problems.
