Geometric-measurement - Session 7: Volume Learning Trajectory – Mathematical goals
Part 3: Measuring the volume of the room – Discussion and reflection
Overview
This part includes a discussion of the methods used to measure the volume of the room and the measurements that resulted from these methods.
Key Points
- One way to think about volume is to think about translating an area across a third dimension.
- Errors in measurement can happen in many ways – imprecise use of a tool, rounding errors, ignoring partial units, converting using non-exact ratios, etc.
