Mensuration Class 8 | Introduction to Solid Shapes | Cube, Cuboid & Cylinder Explained

In this video, we explain the concept of Solid Shapes from Chapter 9 – Mensuration (Class 8 Maths). This lesson is designed to build a strong foundation before learning surface area formulas. 🔍 Topics Covered in This Video 🔹 Introduction to 3D (Solid) Shapes ✔ Difference between plane figures (2D) and solid figures (3D) ✔ Understanding faces, edges, and curved surfaces 🔹 Cuboid ✔ Identification of congruent faces ✔ Real-life examples (boxes, bricks) ✔ Net of a cuboid (visual explanation) 🔹 Cube ✔ All faces equal ✔ Why length = breadth = height ✔ Cube nets and folding 🔹 Cylinder ✔ Circular faces and curved surface ✔ Understanding right circular cylinder ✔ Why some shapes (Fig 9.13) are not cylinders ✔ Real-life cylindrical objects 🔹 Hands-on Activities (Explained from NCERT) ✔ Cutting & unfolding boxes ✔ Checking congruent faces ✔ Wrapping surfaces with paper ✔ Visualising shapes using nets This conceptual video prepares you perfectly for the Surface Area problems that follow in Exercise 9.2. 🎯 Who Should Watch Class 8 students learning Mensuration Students who want clarity before formulas Anyone confused between area vs surface area or 2D vs 3D shapes 📘 NCERT Coverage 📌 Class 8 Maths 📌 Chapter 9 – Mensuration 📌 Section: Solid Shapes 🔔 Subscribe for complete Mensuration chapter 👍 Like | 💬 Comment your questions | 📤 Share with friends
