A note for the parent
What your child had to do in this Surface Areas and Volumes problem
This was not a watch-and-copy exercise. The student had to make 3 small mathematical decisions and correct any wrong turns before moving forward.
The skill being built
Reasoning, not answer recognition
Decompose a composite solid into visible surfaces and remove the matching contact regions hidden at the join.
The mistake we watch for
A wrong answer is useful evidence
Simply adding two total surface areas counts both contact faces even though neither face remains exposed.
What happens when a step goes wrong?
The choice is crossed out
The app does not pretend the mistake did not happen.
The reason is explained
The child sees the exact misconception behind that choice.
The child tries again
The app guides, but the student still makes the next decision.
