Week 9

(Module 1 Topic 2 Lesson 3 - 4: Volume + Surface Area)

Learning objective = Students represent a three-dimensional solid as a two-dimensional net. They then use nets to calculate the surface area of right rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, square pyramids, and triangular pyramids. They solve surface area problems in context.

Parents can support learning at home by helping students connect this week’s lesson to real-life examples and practice explaining their thinking. Encourage your child to explain each step aloud rather than simply memorize a rule = SAMPLE TEST QUESTIONS + MORE QUESTIONS

***If your child needs more challenge, they can move at a faster pace by using this site to study the concepts of future lessons. Mr. Pierre will strive to prepare lessons two weeks ahead of the current week. Also, Khan Academy is a great enrichment resource***

Determining Surface Area with Unit Blocks | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Fluency for Multi-Digit Multiplication With Standard Algorithm (Grade 5) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesUse your spatial reasoning skills to calculate the surface area when given a 3D figure. This video focuses on a right rectangular prism and shows you how unit blocks can help you visualize, then calculate the surface area. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.

Surface Area , Area and Volume: The Big Sleep | Cyberchase | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Composing and Decomposing to Find Area of Triangles, Quadrilaterals, and Polygons (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesIn this video from Cyberchase, Bianca is planning a sleepover birthday party. To figure out the maximum number of friends she can invite, she decides to count how many sleeping bags she can fit over the area of her living room floor. In the accompanying classroom activity, students use the concepts presented in the video to determine the area of multiple shapes. This resource is part of the Math at the Core: Middle School Collection.

Rubik's Cube Volume | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Right Rectangular Prisms (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesRevealing multiple ways to find volume using a Rubik's cube. This video focuses on modeling volume and explaining why two different volume equations will give you the same answer. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.

Candy Volume | Grades 3-5, 6-8 Right Rectangular Prisms (Grade 6) Teaching and Lesson ResourcesEstimate the volume you get when you fill 3D shapes with candy. This video focuses on estimating volume using nonstandard units, using the volume equation to get a more reliable estimate and checking your estimate by counting the nonstandard units.
