Class Topics: 03.23.15

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 fractional sides.

Mr. Giomini then modeled the Khan Skill: Volume Word Problems for the students.  Students were then assigned two story problems similar to the ones from the Khan Skill to complete with an assigned partner.  Once the two answers were correct and checked by Mr. Giomini, students were allowed to begin their evening practice.

Volume Word Problem

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

1. apply the formulas V  = lwh and V = Bh to find volumes of right-rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.  
2. 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.
