Overview
Unit Thoughts:

Webinar PPT: Oct23_800amMath6Unit5.pptx

Good examples in the webinar on taking a fish tank & filling is 3/4 fullwhat is the volume? Or, give the volume & 2 dimensions, when the
volume is 2/3 full, what is the height?

Recipe for a cake: places in 8.5x11x1.75 inch pan-but it spills over. If he

puts it in a 9x9x3 inch pan with a plan that an inch from the top of the pan
will keep it from spilling over-will this pan work?

Painting a barn with 80x40x30 feet, paint costs $28 per gallon that covers
420 sq. ft., how much will it cost?

Have students compare areas of triangles on geoboards-identify the base

& height

Use the 3D stamps, folding geometric solids, geoboards and centimeter

grid paper

Include composition of shapes when finding area & volume

Nets should include pyramids

Include as many real world examples of volume and surface area as

possible.

Focus on fractional edges after conceptual understanding

Good Video demonstrating "MGSE6.G2. Find the volume of a right

rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit

cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the
volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of
the prism"

Students find the volume of rectangular prisms filling them with cubes in
5th grade

Reminders for 2015-2016:

o Volume of right rectangular prisms only. Two formulas: V=lwh
and V=Bh (not lowercase b)
o Surface area using nets of solid figures composed of triangles and
rectangles (prisms and pyramids)

Textbook Connection (located in Math 6 textbook):

Good inquiry lab on p. 583 on area of triangles

Good inquiry lab on p. 595 on area of trapezoids (Math 6 PLUS p. 471)

Volume of Triangular Prisms on p.653 Lesson 2 is not a responsibility of

6th grade students (Math 6 PLUS Lesson 7 p. 511)

Good inquiry labs on surface area: p. 665, p.677, & p. 687 (Math 6 PLUS

State Webinar Update: students should be able to find the area of any
triangle, all of the typical special quadrilaterals and composition of these
shapes; students are only finding the volume of rt. rectangular prisms
using unit cubes and fractional edges; students will represent triangular &
rectangular prisms & pyramids using nets & finding the surface area. New
Tasks include:
