Because of NWEA testing this morning, we had shortened class periods. I ended up using both our math and science blocks for math today. We discussed the two volume formulas (length*width*height and base*height). Students took notes with examples from the board then began with some practice on identifying the correct formula and using it to solve the problem. Students then began to try and find alternate dimensions for prisms with the same volume- think 2' by 2' by 3' has a volume of 12 cubic feet, so does a prism that is 1' by 4' by 3' (see lesson 1-9 worksheet link below). Students will be using this idea on their homework to eliminate one prism from a set of three that has a different volume. HOMEWORK TONIGHT: HOME LINK 1-9
