Class Topics: 03.24.15

In Math Six, students continued their work in Part Eight - Volume and Surface Area by completing a Quick Check dealing with finding the volume of a right rectangular prism with mixed numbers.

Mr. Giomini introduced the concept of surface area to the students by first working with the different nets of three-dimensional shapes.  These techniques were then applied to calculate the surface area of different three-dimensional shapes.

Today's Learning Target(s): The student will be able to...

1. represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles.
2. use the nets to find the surface area of these figures.
3. find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths.

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

1. 15 minutes of meaningful practice on Khan Academy.
• Volume Word Problems
2. complete page six in Part Eight - Surface Area and Volume.
