How Do You Teach Children The Volume Of A Cylinder?
Helping your child with his or her homework can be difficult when it has been a long time since you have been in school or do not use things like math formulae often. How to calculate the volume of a cylinder may be one of those things, but can be readily taught to your child if you are aware of a simple formula. Bringing it home with a practical use, like measuring the volume of something in your home, can make it fun. Step 1 Teach your child about Pi. Pi is the number that represents the ratio of a circle’s circumference to its diameter. Pi is typically rounded to 3.14. Step 2 Show your child how to measure the radius of a circle. The radius is the distance from any side of the circle to the center of the circle, and is half the diameter. Step 3 Teach your child that to find the area of a circle, you must multiple the square of the radius of the circle by Pi. Tell your child to envision that a cylinder is simply a bunch of circles stacked up on one another, and that to get the volume
