Area and Volume Problem Solving

The video tutorial covers a module review session led by Mr. Gros. It begins with an introduction and overview of the session's objectives. The teacher explains how to solve area problems using a rectangular patio example, including calculating the number of tiles needed and their cost. The session also addresses a student's error in using an area model and corrects it. Additionally, the video compares the volume of Lego towers built by two students, Jeremy and Sara, to determine which is taller. The session concludes with a summary and a homework assignment.

• By counting the number of dimensions

• By looking for the word 'volume'

• By identifying if the units are squared

What is the first step in solving an area problem using an area model?

• Drawing a circle

• Drawing a rectangle and labeling dimensions

• Calculating the perimeter
