Math Week 4-25-16

Welcome back from spring break! Both 7th and 8th grade will be learning about the math of measuring physical space. We will explore measuring in one, two, and three dimensions (distance, area, and volume) to begin the week. This will be followed up by reminders about the formulae for finding area of polygons and circles and then using the formulae to find the area of composite shapes and the surface area of objects. Next week we will look at volume of prisms and cylinders (as well as cones and spheres for 8th grade).

CCSS: Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure,

area, surface area, and volume. 4. Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of the relationship between the circumference and area of a circle. 6. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
