Staff Review
Formulas for circumference and area of a circle, and volume of a cylinder and sphere are introduced, and some calculations are done without using a calculator. This is a great introduction to basic geometric formulas, and how to plug numbers into them. -

Pretty simple all in all but very interesting and well explained. It helped me with putting in the numbers for the formulas.
