What's Going On? May 2-6th

Finishing Unit 11: Surface Area and Volume

This week Honors Geometry students will be working to complete unit 11 on Surface Area and Volume.  As we have talked about in class, students who complete our unit 11 summative review assignment will be permitted to create and use a formula reference sheet to use during the test.  You can find a list of the formulas that we discussed during the unit here.

During the test, we will address two different learning targets: surface area and volume.  In the surface area section, students should expect to calculate the surface area and lateral area of a prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere.  Students should also expect to apply their knowledge of surface area to a real-world problem, such as trying to determine the cost of painting a room.

In the volume section of the test, students should expect to calculate the volume of a prism, cylinder, pyramid, cone and sphere. Students should also expect to solve for missing measurements of a solid given the volume.
