Intro to algebra type stuff to make sure you understand the concept of variables in the first place

Even then, I would want them to leave π in the problem itself. That would be much better for this exercise - teaching that you report “exact” values with π still in them.

Eg, if I rewrote this problem, I would expect an answer of 1000π.

Pi= 5 in this teachers reality. Circles must look wonky.

It makes it easy to do the math in your head without a calculator. But still , just tossing out pi=5 is not the way to go about creating these problems.
