⭐️ Other Uses ⭐️

1. Math Centers: Set up the 3D shape sort and match game, volume formula posters, and guided practice worksheets in as station teaching activities. Students can rotate through the centers independently or in small groups, providing opportunities for hands-on practice and reinforcement of cone and pyramid volume concepts.
2. Interactive Review: Assign the digital presentation as an interactive review activity. Provide students access to the presentation online and encourage them to work through the step-by-step breakdown of volume formulas, reinforcing their understanding in a self-directed manner 
3. Extension Activities: Use the 3D shape nets as the starting point for extension activities for advanced students. They can explore additional 3D shape nets beyond cones and pyramids, or create their own volume formula posters for more complex geometric figures. This encourages creativity and deeper exploration of mathematical concepts.
