The video tutorial introduces students and parents to 3D shapes and their cross-sections. It covers how horizontal and vertical cross-sections of different shapes like pyramids, spheres, and cones result in various 2D shapes. The tutorial includes an interactive activity to help students identify cross-sections and concludes with information on additional resources and Schoology lessons.
