Monday, April 20- Wednesday, April 22: Volume

Because of  ISATs the week, we did different notes on different days in each class.

We started by reviewing how to find the volume of a rectangular prism.We created booklets that we will use today through Wednesday to keep track the formulas for each individual figure.  

Front of the booklet: each shape opens to reveal the formula and an example.

Volume of a Rectangular Prism: l ^. w ^. h

Volume of a Cylinder:  π r² . h

Volume of a Cone: ¹/₃ π r² . h

Volume of a Sphere:  4/₃ π r³

Formula s and examples for Rectangular Prism and Cylinder

Formulas and examples for Cone and Sphere.

The homework packet was assigned on Monday but not due until Thursday (test day). There were a few more challenging problems on the last page of the homework, so we worked a couple of those in the notes (see below).

Examples of more complex problems comparing the volume of one figure to another.
