Volume and important dates

This week we are finishing up volume and learning how scale factor effects volume (8.10B Describe the resulting effects on volume when the dimensions of a solid are changed proportionally) Here is a LINK to additional practice found online.

8th graders have a test this Thurs/Fri 2/2 and 2/3 covering 3D views, surface area, and volume. Here is a LINK to the test review.

Other important dates: 


Unit 5 project (cereal box) is due Monday 2/6.

Math DBA (mock STAAR test) will be given Tuesday 2/7. Students will have 4 hours to complete the test. Please make sure your student is prepared by being well rested and having a healthy breakfast that morning.

Math CBA #4 will be given Mon 2/13 and Tues 2/14.

Finally, please consider subscribing by email to this blog (this is found on the right hand side as you scroll). You will receive an email each time we update the blog and won't have to check it everyday. Thanks!

Volume

We have started learning how to find volume of three dimensional figures. Here are links for the assignments:

Week of January 17, 2012

Level Math students will be tested over Surface Area this week. Here is a LINK to review 5-10.

Part I of project is due this week (see previous posts for more info).

We will begin Volume of Prisms and Cylinders this week. Here is a LINK to volume HW 5-12/5-13. Try to solve the problems before we even begin in class. All you will need is a formula chart!

MYP Unit 5 project

MYP Unit 5 Project has been assigned. Part I is due Thurs/Fri 1-19/1-20. You are required to have your cereal box in class each week. Part II is due Thurs/Fri 1-26/1-27. Part III will be completed in class Thurs/Fri 2-2/2-3. Final Project is due Monday, February 6, 2012.

Surface Area Practice

Find surface area using nets and an area table or you can find surface area using formulas. When using formulas remember that P is the perimeter of the base and B is the area of the base.

Total and Lateral Surface Area

We have started learning how to find surface area from the net of a three dimensional figure. See previous posts for online help.
