3D Prism Construction in GeoGebra

The video tutorial explores using GeoGebra to teach year 7 students about 3D objects and nets during lockdown. It demonstrates how to navigate GeoGebra, plot a rectangular prism, extrude it, and explore its net. The tutorial aims to help students visualize and understand 3D shapes and their properties.
