Surface Area and Rectangular Prisms

The video tutorial covers the concept of surface area, using a cabinet and sticky notes as a practical example. It explains how to calculate the surface area by finding the area of each face of a 3D object and adding them together. The lesson also includes an activity with Snap Cubes to build different rectangular prisms and calculate their surface areas. The tutorial concludes with homework problems to reinforce the concepts learned.
