Their city presentation should be creative, with the prisms representing buildings, bridges, and towers, among other things.

- Instructions:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5 members.

• Each group should access Tinkercad (or similar software) and create an account if they don’t have one.

• Show them how to use the software's basic tools for modeling prisms.

• Groups need to discuss and plan their city's layout, deciding on the types of prisms and their organization.

• Each group must create at least five different types of prisms and perform volume calculations.

• Members should collaborate to create the 3D models while measuring dimensions for volume calculations.

• Groups will prepare a presentation explaining their design choices and showcasing volume calculations.

• Finally, each group presents their 'Prism City' to the class, discussing challenges and learnings.

Groups will produce visually engaging educational content using videos, images, and text.

- Instructions:

• Divide the class into groups of up to 5 members.

• Every group selects a social network (Instagram or TikTok) for their posts.

• Groups should draft a series of posts, including explanatory videos, images of their calculations, and real-life examples where prism volume calculations are crucial.

• Encourage them to use video/image editing apps to enhance content attractively.

• Groups must film videos explaining the volume calculation of various prisms and showcase practical examples.

• Inspire creativity by suggesting meme usage, popular songs, and interactive visuals.

• Groups will share their content with the class and discuss how effectively they communicated mathematical concepts.

• In the end, each group presents their posts, focusing on challenges and learnings.

Activity 3 - 🎮 Prism Challenge - Math Gamification 🎲

> Duration: 60 to 70 minutes

- Goal: Reinforce understanding of prism volume calculation in a fun and competitive environment, encouraging group collaboration.

- Deskripsi Activity: Groups will compete in an online game created on Kahoot! or Quizizz, answering questions related to calculating the volume of different prisms. The game will feature varying levels of difficulty, with questions that involve both practical and theoretical challenges.

- Instructions:

• Divide students into groups of up to 5 members.

• Explain the competitive rules of the game.

• Each group accesses the chosen platform (Kahoot! or Quizizz) using the given code.

• The teacher leads the game, presenting questions sequentially and controlling the competition pace.

• Questions will cover various aspects of prism volume calculations, including practical and theoretical insights.

• Pause between questions for discussions on the correct answers and address any doubts.

• Groups collaborate to answer questions promptly, earning points.

• At the end of the game, the group with the highest score wins, with a small reward from the teacher.

Feedback
