I think any time that you can contextualize math in a way that connects to students then you are probably on the right track. And so if you are working with cylinders, then you might like this task from @MrAspinal connecting cylinders to Super Mario. Have fun

I was reminded of this video this week. It's a great connection between coding and mathematics and with the new Ontario math curriculum's inclusion of coding, it seems like it's a good fit. Though some of the math moves into high school, it could easily be used in elementary to spark interest.
