Volume Measurement and Estimation

The video tutorial covers measuring volume in cubic meters, explaining that a cubic meter contains 1,000 cubic centimeters. It includes a visual demonstration of a cubic meter and encourages students to estimate the volume of their classroom in cubic meters. An example problem is provided, followed by a practice problem where students calculate the volume of a structure. The tutorial concludes with instructions for an assignment on page 147.
