Instructional Ideas
  • Create more difficult problems than those in the video for scholars to work on their own
  • Review metric units if pupils aren't comfortable converting from cm cubed to dm cubed

  • Sample problems should not require a calculator to solve, but the resource does assume prior understanding of multiplication and division
Pros
  • Provides prompts to pause the video to solve questions before learning the correct answer
  • Stresses the importance of labeling units when performing calculations
Cons
  • None
