Math Survey Week of 3-3-2008

Monday:  Change 3-D objects into Nets

Goal:  Abstractly take apart 3-D objects and turn them into 2-D shapes.  This is the beginning of finding surface area.

  • Students will look at 3-D shapes brought into the classroom.
    • Draw them in 3-D
    • Measure them
    • Draw the Net of the figure.

Tuesday:  Quiz on Volume of 3-D Object

Goal:  Students will show mastery of using a formula to find the volume of a 3-D Shape.

  • Volume Quiz
    • Students can use;
    • Note/Vocabulary Packet
    • Calculators
  • Lesson 4-9 “Surface Area”
    • Students will take the NETS they made of a 3-D Object and find the area for each face.

Wednesday:  Lesson 4-9 Surface Area

Goal:  Students will calculate the surface area using formulas of 3-D Objects.

  • Lesson 4-9 Surface Area
    • Students will take the NETS that they made from 3-D objects and find the AREA it covers
    • Go through the difference of VOLUME and SURFACE AREA
    • Class Practice
  • Absent Students can click here for EXAMPLES and click here to take the Lesson 4-9 Self-Check Quiz.
