Geometry
The next two units we will be focusing on are Geometry & Indirect Measurement, and Geometry with Perimeter, Area, and Volume. These units tie into the 7th Grade and 8th Common Core Math Standards.
During the unit students will apply and extend previous understandings of angles and geometry from 6th grade, as well as solving equations and scaling (similarity) from previous units.
More specifically, students will be able to solve for missing angles in diagrams using angle relationships, polygon angle measures, and equation solving. They will apply equation solving techniques to find the circumference and area of circles, and perimeter and area of composite shapes. Students will find the surface area and volume of three-dimensional right prisms, volume of cylinders/cones/spheres, as well as identify their cross sections.

HMH Into Math Help
Students can log into HMH and Click on "Discover". This will take them to the interactive copy of their textbook (there is an icon on their iPads that is a single sign-on link.)
Scrolling down there is a "Family Resources" option that has "Videos to help with the various lessons. "
There is also a "Student Resources" option that has a digital copy of their paper textbook.
