Measurement homework in a math textbook… horribly out of scale.

    Does it really matter if you write down a length in squares or in cubes? 😂

      Cubes implies you’re working in 3 dimensions as in 10 cm³

        It’s definitely in the “lies to tell children to help them learn” category. The concept of length Vs counting is only just being taught here. The difference between dimensional cubes is a bit beyond most of them.

        And square imply cm². Both are equally stupid to measure a length. Or are you arguing that cubes a one dimension more stupid?
