Models help guide students visualize and understand volume formulas.

# data[].attributes.body
There are many forms to get to the same numbers in terms of cubics. Using visuals such as the net model help students understand the volume of a shape.

Practicing drawing nets can help students to visualize and see how that layouts of 3d shapes can be made.

Nets and physical experiments (filling up 3D objects) are great ways to help students conceptualize volume.

# data[].attributes.body
When measuring volume, you can fill containers with water and then into a measuring cup to be able to get an accurate reading for it's volume and not just it's weight.

Net models can be super helpful when explaining area of 3d objects

Drawing nets help students visually see how 3D shapes are made, and how it can help with volume.

need an exploration, not just a lecture. otherwise it gets very confusing

Having representations like manipulative and blocks help the students understand the place values of the digits. It also helps students visualize the problem when trying to find the measurements of a shape, for example the triangles and their formulas, or the parallelograms where we took the end to make it a rectangle and then added the triangle to the other side to find the measurements.

It allows students to to understand why they are using and solving formulas which can help them with many other situations they can come across.

Showing students the connection to the polygon that you can make on desmos or a picture that you can draw will help to build an understanding of why the formula is used and why it works in certain situations.

Use many different resources to help students understand the reasoning behind why we use certain formulas and why they help us find certain things (area). Make sure you are not just having students memorize the formulas without any explanation.

In order to teach geometry and measurement effectively, manipulative and having physical representations is crucial for this. It is also a better visual representation to explain the formulas that are being solved. They should know why they are solving formulas, not just memorizing just because.

Measurement with Geometry: Have physical representations, like a parallelogram shaped piece of paper and have students cut them to make a rectangle. Then they can see how the area formula is bxh. Same with triangles, show them how a triangle is half of a rectangle that's why we have to multiply the bxhx1/2.

Use manipulatives, visuals, and representatives to help show students the reasoning behind the formula and not just tell them the formula and expect them to memorize it.

Physically manipulating a shape can help students better understand the reasoning behind the formula used to find the area of a shape. Ex: Parallelogram A=bh-- moving that triangle over.

Show students the reasoning behind the formula.

# data[].attributes.body
Showing different examples of manipulatives and representations of models in measurement allows students to visualize their reasoning rather than just writing out formulas on a piece of paper and having students memorize it.

# data[].attributes.body
The reason behind the formula can help students remember why to do things and how to do them. This allows students to be successful long term and use their knowledge to help them in other situations.

don't just have them memorize formulas, show them why
