Making models really helped me understand how to find the surface area of 3D shapes! Here’s what I did:
Seeing is Believing: When I created models using paper or clay, it was much easier to view all the faces of shapes like cubes and cylinders.
Using the Formulas: For instance, I measured each side of a cube. Then, I used the formula (6s^2) to find the surface area. I noticed how each side added up.
Getting Hands-On: I took boxes or cans and wrapped them in paper. This showed me how the calculations I did related to real-life objects!
This way of learning made everything feel so much clearer!
