Understanding the Associative Property of Multiplication through the Volume Formula

The video tutorial explains the associative property of multiplication using the volume formula for rectangular prisms. It reviews the concept of volume, common student mistakes, and demonstrates how the order of multiplication does not affect the result. The associative property is highlighted, showing that the product remains the same regardless of how numbers are grouped.

What common mistake do students make when using the volume formula?
