Math Week 5-2-16

Both 7th and 8th grade will be learning about the math of measuring physical space. We will explore measuring area of circles and composite shapes to begin the week. This will be followed up by reminders about the formulas for finding volume of prisms and cylinders.

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.
