The 26th part of a 28-part series requires pupils to determine whether the answer to a problem requires surface area or volume. The class works problems about fish tanks that prompt individuals to decide, based on the question, which calculation they need to perform to find the answer. The problem set includes problems that ask which tank will drain the fastest.
