March 8-12 Math

 

Monday: 

Introduction to Volume 

 

Daily Objective: I will be able to define volume and determine the volume of different three-dimensional shapes. 

 

Find the length, width and height of the rectangular prisms in the worksheet.  Then, find the volume of each prism. 

To find volume: 

  • Multiply the length by the width to get surface area 
    • Ex: 4 x 4 = 16  
  • Multiply the surface area by the height of the prism 
    • Ex: 16 (surface area) x 2 (height) = 32 
  • Your total volume in the example would be 32. 

      

    Challenge: Each unit is 0.25 cubic inches.  Find the new length, width and height of each rectangular prism.  

     

    Assignment:  

    Monday: Finding Volume Using Units 

Tuesday: 

Reviewing Surface Area 

 

Daily Objective: I will be able to review surface area and apply surface area to volume.  

 

This will be a review- find the area in cm of the rectangles shown.  Remember that to find the area, you will need to multiply the length times the width of each rectangle.  The first one is done for you. 

  

Challenge: Find the area for rectangles that have the lengths and widths given below: 

  • Length = 5.45  Width = 14 
  • Length = 1.46  Width = 0.5 
  • Length = 12.3  Width = 0.01 
  • Length = 425  Width = 26.2 

     

    Assignment:  

    Tuesday: Review for Finding Area 

Wednesday: 

Using an Equation to Find Volume 

 

Daily Objective: I will be able to use an equation to find the volume of different 3-Dimensional Objects 

 

In your worksheet, find the total volume of each figure shown.  The first one is done for you. 

To find volume, use the formula length x width x height.  Since these do have irregular shapes, you will need to do a little bit of wrangling by creating 2 rectangular prisms and adding their volume together. 

Since this is in 3D, you will be using cubic centimeters as your unit.  Challenging problems can be found below. 

Challenge: Find the volume for the following 3D prisms: 

  • Length = 3.4   Width = 6.2   Height = 1.5 
  • Length = 42.5  Width = 0.1   Height = 9.3 

     

    Assignment: 

    Wednesday: Finding Total Volume 

Thursday: 

Designing an Aquarium Using Volume 

 

Daily Objective: I will be able to apply what I have learned about volume this week to design an aquarium 

 

The city of Thornton purchased a warehouse that they would like to turn into an aquarium.  The warehouse does have a strange layout- there are two thick load-bearing columns on the sides of the rooms.  Your task is to figure out how to build aquariums around these columns, and to leave a path for visitors to walk through. 

 

For this assignment, you will be using the floor plan below to create a fresh-water and salt-water fish tank for the aquarium.  Use the drawing tools on OneNote to plan out where your fish tanks will be.  You may choose to build your aquarium around the columns, or you may choose to make your fish tanks rectangular.  When you have finished your design, answer the questions below. 

 

Questions: 

  1. Write down the length, width, and height of each of your fish tanks below. 
  2. Find the volume of each of your fish tanks. 
    1. Remember to use the formula: Length x Width x Height to find volume 
    2. Make sure that your length, width and height aren't significantly larger or smaller than the length, width, and ceiling height of the warehouse. 
  1. When you are finished, you may use paper and pencil or the paint program on your computer to draw what you would like the inside of each fish tank to look like.  Remember that one will be for fresh water fish, and one will be for salt water.  Have fun with this piece! 

     

    Assignment: 

    Thursday: Designing an Aquarium 

Friday: 

MobyMax: Volume 

 

Daily Objective: I will be able to practice what I have learned this week in my MobyMax assignments. 

 

Assignment: 

MobyMax: Volume
