Week 1 Math 8

By the end of the week, you (each student) should have a good understanding of how to do this list:

I CAN use benchmarks to estimate

I CAN find the surface area of a regular polygon

I CAN construct a 3D object from a net

I CAN define the terms surface area, perimeter, square, cube, face & net

Description of Activity or Task:

While I hope to have Mathletics up and running by the time next week comes, we will start out with Khan Academy:

Click on the links below for a Khan Academy video introduction to Area & Perimeter

1. Perimeter vs Area Video Review
2. Area of Triangle Video Review
3. Practice Area of Triangle Problems (you should be shooting for more than 80% correct)
4. Area of a Parallelogram Video Review
5. Practice Area of a Parallelogram Problems

Estimate of Time Required: 1 hour

Resources: Khan Academy & You Tube.

Demonstration of Learning (remove if not required for this activity/task)

Students will get real time formative feedback through Khan Acadmey.

For specific questions to problems students should be accessing me during the video tutorial times on Tuesday and Thursday from 11-12 am.

Description of Activity or Task:

This activity has a few parts:

1. Print off the net by opening the attached document here: Cube Net
2. Measure and label each side length
3. Using what you learned earlier in this week’s set of tasks, calculate the surface area for each face
4. Fold the edges and glue up the flaps to make a cube!
5. On a separate piece of paper make two sections:
   1. Surface area of one Square Face
      • Show how you calculated the surface area of one face (must include formula!)
   2. Surface area of 3D Cube
      • Show how you calculated the surface area of the completed cube (must include formula!)
6. Finally take a picture of the completed cube and the calculations page and email to Mr. Nannan

Estimate of Time Required: 1.5 hours

Resources: printer, camera/scanner, www.mrnannan.com, Khan Academy & You Tube.

The final submission for the 3D-net build and associated calculations should be emailed directly to mnannan@rvschools.ab.ca .
