Unit 11: Surface Area and Volume

We ended up with a strange week last week due to our freshmen taking the Aspire Test.  This week should get us back on track.  During class on Monday, students will have class time to work on the "Tiny House" project.  For this project, students will design their own tiny house layout, determine the area of the different places and surfaces within the tiny house, and calculate the cost of some basic home improvements.  This project is designed to give students a look at some real-world application of Geometry, measurement, and surface area.  This project will be due on the day of our Unit 11 summative assessment.

During class on Tuesday, students will start off with a short BlackBoard formative assessment on surface area.  Once we complete this, we will dive into "volume".  Throughout the week, we will talk about how to calculate the volume of prisms, pyramids, and spheres.
