Measurement Conversions
Geogebra Area & Formula
- Proof of area formula: rectangle, parallelogram, triangle, trapezium.
- Start with a rectangle, slide to top side to form a parallelogram of the same area. Hence, base x height for area of both rectangles and parallelograms.
- Cut the parallelogram into two equivalent triangles. Hence, the area of a triangle: half the area of a parallelogram.
- A trapezium is two triangles with the same height.

Extra for experts:

This term's learning habit focus is Create. The particular interest is in problem solving. Please write a reflection on your google site, on the new subpage "Term 3 Measurement". The reflection should explain what you do when you are STUCK. Being able to get unstuck is a vital academic skill. The reflection should include how you use your learning workbook, text books, videos, online notes, Transum and education perfect, to get unstuck. Also who do you ask for help? Rate yourself N,E,D,P or A.

Learning Habit Reflection: Include your self-assessment using the guide below.

N: Not Yet Evident:

I have no idea what to do when I am stuck.

E: Emerging:

I know I should ask for help, but I do not do it.

D: Developing:

When I am stuck I ask for help.

P: Proficient:

When I am stuck I have a range of strategies to get unstuck.
I know how to use the provided resources to learn.
I ask for help when I need it.

A: Advanced:

I am almost always able to get myself 'unstuck' without having to ask for help.
I have found my own additional resources which I use at home: For Example: LearnCoach.
I am confident to ask for help when I need it.
I help others when they are stuck.

PPMCC

PPMCC: Group Surface Area & Volume Task.

Term 3 Week 3 - 3D - Volume & Surface Area

Volume:

Surface Area:

Level 1 - Find the surface area of shapes made up of cubes.
Level 2 - Find the surface area of a variety of cuboids.
Level 3 - Find the surface area of cuboids and other composite shapes.
Level 4 - Use a formula to find the surface area of standard solid shapes.

Volume of Prisms: Area of the base multiplied by height.

Term 3 Week 4 - PPMCC Student Projects

PPMCC & PPMCC Air & PPMCC Posting Blocks give you examples of what a PPMCC project might look like.

Example of a PPMCC Project.

Thanks to Helen (Artist), Celeste and Eesha.

Problem: How much air is in this shuttle cock cylinder?

Plan: Measure the diameter and height of the cylinder. Decide how to model the shuttle cock. Measure the required dimensions of the shuttle cock. Calculate the volume of one shuttle cock. Multiply by the number of shuttle cocks. Calculate the volume of the cylinder. Take the volume of the shuttle cocks away from the volume of the container. Work out the percentage of air in the container (Volume of air divided by volume of container times 100).

Measure: Show the physical measurements.

Calculate: As planned.

Conclusion: There is 79% air in the container.

This was a very interesting project. We compared the calculated values with our estimates. For example 24mls seems about right for one shuttle cock.

Example Above: The half sphere is correctly calculated using half the formula for the volume of a sphere.
