Class Topics: 03.31.14

In Common Core Math Six today, students in 1, 3, and 4° reviewed material from Chapter Nine. Students collaborated with colleagues to solve various volume and surface area problems.  Volunteers were given the opportunity to explain their solutions to the class.

During 2°, students reviewed Friday's Evening Practice from Lesson 8.3.  Mr. Giomini introduced Lesson 8.4: Area of Parallelograms.  Students were asked to infer why the formula for the area of a parallelogram was the same as the area of a square and rectangle.

Today's Learning Goals: The student will be able to...

• 1, 3, and 4° - 
• find the volume of three-dimensional figures.
• use an equation to determine the missing measurement when given the volume and area of the base for a three-dimensional object.
• find the surface area of three-dimensional figures.
• 2° - 
• determine the reasoning behind the formula for the area of a parallelogram.
• calculate the area of a parallelogram. 

For Evening Practice, the student is expected to...

• 1, 3, and 4° - 
• complete numbers 15-21, 23-29 on page 319.  (CLICK HERE)
• 2° - 
• complete Lesson 8.4 Practice C.
