The video discusses the concept of the distributive property in math, which allows rearranging arithmetic expressions to change the order of operations. The distributive property works for groups of any size and for group members that are being added or subtracted, but not for multiplication or division. It can make some calculations easier, especially in basic multi-digit multiplication problems. The video provides examples and suggests practicing to gain a better understanding of the concept.
