Understanding Three-Dimensional Shapes

This video tutorial explains how to find the volume of a shape by counting cubes. It begins with a simple example, demonstrating how to visualize and count cubes in a three-dimensional shape. The tutorial then progresses to a more complex shape, showing how to count cubes on the front and determine the number of rows. Finally, viewers are encouraged to practice with additional problems and check their answers.

What is the main focus of this video tutorial?

• Finding the volume of a shape by counting cubes
