Visual aids can be really helpful when learning about volume in cubes and prisms! Here’s how they make understanding easier:

1. Seeing is Believing: Diagrams and 3D models let students see the shapes and their sizes. This helps make the idea of volume less confusing.

2. Understanding Volume Formulas: When we show the formula for volume, like for a cube where $V = s^3$ (with $s$ being the side length), students can connect the formula to the actual shape.

3. Easy Steps to Follow: Using charts or step-by-step visuals can help explain how to calculate volume. For example, for rectangular prisms, the formula is $V = l \times w \times h$, where you measure the length, width, and height.

4. Connecting to Real Life: Showing everyday objects that match these shapes helps students see why volume is important, like figuring out how many toys can fit in a box!

Using visual aids makes learning about volume fun and engaging!
