Assignment

Summary of class notes:
 
Surface Area
The dimensions of a rectangular prism are length (l), width (w) and height (h).
To find the surface area of a rectangular prism, add the area of each of the faces.  However, since there are only three unique faces (two bases - l * w; two length/height sides - l * h; and two width/heigth sides - w * h), one can write the formula for surface area (SA) of a rectangular prism as:
 
SA = 2 (l * w) + 2 (l * h) + 2 ( w * h)
 
When finding surface area:
1) start by drawing the unique faces and label the dimensions
2) write the overall formula (surface area as a sum of the faces)
3) substitute with formulas for each polygon face 
4) substitute with dimensions
5) simplify
6) units
 
Homework assignment:
1) Find the surface area for the first row of rectangular prisms on "5 foot man" volume worksheet.
 
2) Complete side 1 of "Boxes" and find surface area of rectangular prism and triangular prism and answer the question.

Area - Perimeter worksheet (Posted solutions to use if you get stuck.)

Created by Alicia Barton: Wednesday, February 25 4:04 PM

Assignment

IXL 6.Z.27 Area and Perimeter SS > 90
SHOW ALL WORK in notebook, please
 
Here is an example.
Problem:  Perimeter congruent

Shapes: Rectangle A: 7mm by 5mm; Rectangle B: 1mm by ?

What is the area of rectangle B?

First find the measurement that is congruent for the shape with the given dimensions:

P = 2( l + w)

P = 2(7+5)

P=2(12)

P=24 mm

Then, for rectangle B, you know that the perimeter is 24mm and one side is 1 mm.  Now you need to find the length of the other side so that you can use the area formula:

P = 2(l+w)

24 = 2(1 + w)

divide both sides by 2

12 = 1 + w

subtract 1 from both sides

w = 11

Thus, the area for rectangle B:

A = l * w

A = 1 * 11

A = 11 sq mm.

 

If you are given congruent area, find the area of the known rectangle and use your factor T-chart to identify possible combinations of base and height until you find one that meets the perimeter requirement of the second rectangle.

 

If you are given congruent perimeter and area of B, find the perimeter of rectangle A, then use the factor T-chart to identify possible combinations of base and height for B until you find one that meets the perimeter requirement.

IXL FIFTH (5th) grade REVIEW of Geometry
5.B.1, 5.B.2, 5.B.3, 5.B.4, 5.B.5, 5.B.6, 5.B.7
 
For each section, the MINIMUM requirement is:
< 5 minutes AND 100 SS
OR 
= 5 minutes and >10 problems correct
OR 
> 10 minutes
 
This means if you remember the 5th grade work, you could get to 100 before the 5 minutes and move to the next section.  If you can get at least 10 problems CORRECT, and are below 100 SS, you may move to the next section at 5 minutes.  If, however, you need more than 5 minutes to work at least 10 problems correctly, work for a maximum of 10 minutes.  (Ex. It takes 7 minutes to get 10 problems correct.  Stop at the 10 problem correct and move to the next section.)

Long division puzzle started in class.
Create division problems with no remainder using the divisibility rule strategy we practiced in class.  Example divisors: 3, 4, 6, 9, 12, 15, 18, 36, 45.
 
The puzzle sheet is divided into 16 rectangular boxes.  Where two boxes meet, students should create a division problem where one one side of the rectangle is the problem, and the other side is the quotient.  Students work out the quotient on scratch paper.  When the puzzle is complete, there will be 24 division problem-quotient pairs on the sheet.  In class on Monday we will cut the paper into the 16 rectangular pieces and seat partners will reconstruct the puzzle by performing the division problems and matching the problem with the quotient.
 
I've attached an example puzzle.  The blue squares indicate all of the spaces where a division problem-quotient pair should be.
