What's Going On? April 23rd through April 27th

Unit 11: Volume

This week we will continue our study of 3D shapes.  We will spend the first part of the week talking more about surface area.  We will also get started on our "Tiny House" project, where students will get to design the layout for their own tiny house.  Students will calculate area, surface area, and the cost of doing some basic home improvements within their own "tiny house".  At the end of the week, students will start to investigate the volume of prisms and pyramids.  Students should expect to see a couple of formative assessments throughout the week so we can make sure we are on the right track.
