The video tutorial reviews simplifying radicals, a concept learned in geometry and algebra. It covers two methods: the factor tree method and the perfect square method. The factor tree method involves breaking down numbers into prime factors, while the perfect square method involves identifying the largest perfect square factor. The tutorial provides examples for each method, comparing their effectiveness and encouraging students to choose the method they prefer. Practice problems are suggested for further understanding.
