Math Survey Week of 3-31-2008

All Week Note:  The Students will have work time on a WebQuest on Volume & Surface Area.  This project will be due on Thursday. 

Monday:  Volume and Surface Area Assessment

Goal:  Students will use the correct formula and are successful at finding the volume and surface area of 3-D Objects.

  • All Students will take the assessment
    • Students can use;
      • Note Packets
      • Book for formulas
      • Calculator
  • WebQuest work when finished
    • Computer Lab

Tuesday through Thursday:  WebQuest and Assessment Time

Goal: Learn about Great World Architecture and find the volume and surface area of the buildings.

  • Students that do not achieve a C or better on the assessment will be reassessed on Volume and Surface Area.
    • Students will continue to be reassessed each day until they are successful.
    • Students can use;
      • Note Packet given to them at the beginning of the Chapter
      • Text Book
      • Calculator
  • Students that achieved a satisfactory score on the assessment will use the math computer lab to work a project dealing with volume and surface area.

Math Survey Week of 3-24-2008

Note:  This week we will focus on Volume and Surface Area of 3-Dimensional objects.

Monday:  Post view of Chapter 4 Test & Discussion on Volume

Goal:  Identify the correct formula to find the volume of a 3-D object.

  • Post view of Chapter 4 Test
  • Volume of Prism & Cylinder = Area of Base × Height of object
  • Volume of Pyramid & Cone = ⅓ × Area of Base × Height of object
  • Class Practice

Tuesday:  Surface Area Discussion and Practice

Goal:  Identify the correct formula to find the Surface Area of a 3-D figure.

  • Warm-up check on volume
  • Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids
  • Surface Area of a Cylinder = (2×π×d×hieght of Cylinder) × (π×r²)
  • Class Practice

Wednesday:  Block Schedule (No Class)

Thursday:  Block Schedule Volume & Surface Area Webquest

Goal:  Learn about Great World Architecture and find the volume and surface area of the buildings.

  • Students will use the math computer lab to start a project dealing with vilume and surface area.

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.
