#ACADEMIC This one-day lesson will cover how to determine the surface area of 3 dimensional prisms, pyramids, and cylinders (and cones and spheres, if time allows) using formulas for surface area.
Class experience
US Grade 6 - 8
This class will use formulas to find the surface areas of rectangular prisms and triangular prisms, cylinders, and introduce the surface area of pyramids. Each of these concepts will have real world examples, as well. If there's extra time, we'll examine cones and spheres. I teach with a slide presentation to model the concepts, practice together with the learners, and provide several independent practice problems. I strongly encourage discussion and participation from the learners as we go...
Students will be able to determine the surface area of three dimensional prisms, cones, and cylinders using formulas for area.
1 file available upon enrollmentA one page worksheet with basic notes for area is attached. A calculator, pencil, and paper would be useful.
Learners will not need to use any apps or websites beyond the standard Outschool tools.
