Geometric Shapes and Isometric Dot Drawings

Today we are looking more at the Geometry standard, specifically nets and shapes. 

First check out this game to get ready for today's topic:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's look at what you're supposed to have a working knowledge of before we start.  You should be able to find the area of rectangles and triangles using a formula.  You should also be able to find them using whole numbers and fractional or decimal numbers. 

We'll practice drawing some of these today using blocks from the front table.

Surface Area and Prisms

Depending on which class you're in today, it's all geometry!

Math II

I shared with you the tips for success to find surface area:

1. Label your faces . -->   I like Front, Back, Left, Right, Top, and Bottom (but not all will have six!)

2. Find the area of each face using area formulas

3. Find the sum of all faces and correctly label your answer.

Scale Model and Scale Factor

We worked on an online version of scale models.  The big idea today is to learn how to use a ruler tool and do some conversions on the computer.

Math I

More algebra.  Specifically using multiplication and division to isolate the variable.
