To further develop Sakina's understanding of cubic meters, you can encourage her to explore real-life examples of objects or containers that have a volume of one cubic meter. You can also provide her with more complex shapes and challenge her to calculate their volume in cubic meters. Additionally, you can introduce the concept of surface area and help her understand how it relates to volume.
