The video tutorial explains how to solve multiplication problems using strip diagrams. It begins with an introduction to strip diagrams as a model for visualizing multiplication as repeated addition. The tutorial then provides three examples: 14 times 2, 12 times 5, and 28 times 3, demonstrating how to represent each multiplication problem with a strip diagram. Each example involves solving the multiplication problem and then drawing a strip diagram to illustrate the relationship between the parts and the whole.
