Deon bought 36 cans of juice that each contained 300 milliliters of juice. How many liters of juice did he buy?
1 L = 1,000 mL 10,800 ÷ 1,000 = 10.800 L |
In our math class, students spend time discussing problems in depth and are asked to share their reasoning and solutions. It is most important that children accurately and efficiently solve math problems in ways that make sense to them. At home, encourage your child to explain his or her math thinking to you. Please look for more information and activities about Races, Arrays, and Grids that will be sent home in the coming weeks.
