Instructional Ideas
- Allow learners to watch the video independently and then apply the strategy to practice problems
- Include area problems when practicing to allow pupils to decide which formula to use
Classroom Considerations
- Video continues from the previous lessons in the series
- This video is hosted on YouTube
Pros
- Requires different algebraic approaches when using the formulas
- Examples chosen require scholars to interpret complex diagrams
Cons
- Does not incorporate context within the problem situations
