CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-GMD.A.1 Give an informal argument for the formulas for the circumference of a circle, area of a circle, volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone. CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-GMD.A.2 Give an informal argument using Cavalieris principle for t he formulas for the volume of a sphere and other solid figures. CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-GMD.A.3 Use volume and surface area formulas for cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems. CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-MG.A.1 Use geometric shapes, their measures, and their properties to describe objects (e.g., modeling a tree trunk or a human torso as a cylinder). CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-MG.A.2 Apply concepts of density based on area and volume in modeling situations (e.g., persons per square mile, BTUs per cubic foot). CCSS.Math.Content.HSG-MG.A.3 Apply geometric methods to solve design problems (e.g., designing an object or structure to satisfy physical constraints or minimize cost; working with typographic grid systems based on ratios).
Big Ideas:

Big Ideas Find the volume and surface area of any polyhedron or three dimensional object when given the dimensions. Model three dimensional shapes after real world objects. Apply geometric concepts in modeling situations. Essential Questions: What information do I need to find the volume of an object? What information do I need to find the surface area of an object? How can I find the volume and surface area of an object? What can I model geometric shapes as? How can I use the volume and surface area formulas in the real world?

Unit Goals and Objectives:

Correctly identify all polyhedron and three dimensional shapes. Find the surface area and volume of an object when given the dimensions of a three dimensional object. Model geometric, three dimensional shapes, after real life examples. Use volume and surface area formulas to find the depth and area of real world objects and examples. Answer all the provided essential questions.

Unit Summary:

In this unit we are going to explore geometric shapes. After being taught and deriving surface area and volume formulas for various types of polyhedral, students will be able to see a shape and know the correct formulas to use. After learning how to determine and name these shapes we will visit their properties, measurements, and dimensions. Using these properties and measurements we are going to practice find the surface area and volume. These shapes will include all polyhedra (i.e., boxes, prisms, pyramids, etc.) and other three dimensional shapes (e.g., cylinders, cones, and spheres). Next we will be learning how to model geometric shapes after objects that we see every day in the real world (modeling a tree trunk after a cylinder). We will then learn how these shapes and formulas can be used in our lives by solving examples designed from the real world. After doing numerous practice problems individually and discussing the answers as a class, students will see how these formulas can help us in the real world. A written test at the end of the unit will evaluate what the students learned and allow for more in depth analysis if more needs to be worked on.
Assessment Plan: Entry-Level: Formative: Summative:

When given a three dimensional object, students will brainstorm how they can find the surface area of this object. This will tap into prior knowledge of how to find the area of any two dimensional shape.

Questions to Check for Understanding| Come up with ways that we can use the volume and surface area of objects in the real world Flashcards| Formulas for different shapes volume and surface areas on flashcards to help memorization Critical Thinking Question| Work with group to solve real world problems Quiz| Quiz to assess their understanding of volume and surface area

Test| Formal, written exam to assess knowledge and understanding of volume and surface area of different three dimensional objects.

Lesson 1 Student Learning Objective: Begin to learn the surface area and volume formulas. Learn how these math problems can relate to the real world. Acceptable Evidence: Students will be able to communicate with each other effectively to come up with ideas and theories. Students will correctly fill out the guided notes provided to them. Acceptable Evidence: Students will be able to answer all questions correctly from the Webercise. When given a written quiz, students will be able to correctly answer questions Acceptable Evidence: Students will be able to organize what they have learned in a graphic organizer following all directions on the rubric. When given a written test, students will be able to correctly answer questions Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction Instructional Strategies: Communication Collection Collaboration Presentation Organization Interaction
Lesson Activities: Students will be given a Webercise in which they go to a specific website and answer questions given to them. These questions were developed to get students thinking critically and organize their thoughts and ideas onto one page. Lesson Activities: Teacher lecture in which students will fill out guided notes as they follow along with a presentation created for them about surface area and volume

Lesson 2 Student Learning Objective: Students will individually be able to think critically in order to answer and present abstract questions about three dimensional shapes in an organized way. Lesson 3 Student Learning Objective: Ensure that students know all of the geometric formulas and learn a new technological tool.

Lesson Activities: Students are to follow specific directions to create a graphic organizer using the website Gliffy. This activity will help them get practice with 21st century skills and technology as well as solidify what they have learned throughout the unit. The unit will be concluded with a test.
