4th Grade Webex Times: Monday & Wednesday 9:45 am & 1:00pm
Next week (4/13), we are starting a unit on Solid Figures which is an introduction to the following lesson on volume. I normally teach this at school with my supply of multilink cubes. If you don't have any at home, you may want to borrow or order a set online. They are not required; the lessons can be completed without cubes, but it will make it easier for your student to understand the more abstract concept of volume by first using the concrete cubes.
