Surface Area!

Today we began looking at surface area!

We've used rectangular prisms for our first look, but will also talk about triangular prism and pyramids.

Tonight's homework is to find the surface area of one of your nets.  Measure in centimeters and show your work on the paper.  Be sure to label your final answer.

Platonic Solids!

Today we made platonic solids in our classroom!

You can make all five platonic solids using the nets above.  Or you can Google each of the shapes for larger templates.  Color them in, cut them carefully and tape them up!

Tonight's homework is to bring in your box if you haven't brought one in yet!

Have an awesome day and enjoy the nice weather!

Find a box!

Tonight's homework is to bring in a box by Wednesday.  It must be something that you wouldn't mind being used in class.  IT MAY GET DAMAGED, so don't bring in anything precious!  Keep it shoe box size or smaller.  The funkier the shape, the better!!!

Check out the videos from class today in the post two posts ago!
