Tomorrow we will review Tuesday night’s homework which was page 366 evens only. This homework and the worksheet will be taken for a grade.
Today in class we worked on solid figure stations, answering questions about the properties of the four solids we are working with.
Homework for the weekend is to fill in the formula section for Cylinders and Rectangular Prisms on the four page study guide. This study guide is to assist students in using the various formulas
Today in class we continued with our story and reviewed the results of yesterday’s quiz. We also began working with calculating Volume of rectangular prisms and cylinders. Students were required to enter information regarding the formula V=B x h into their guides.
Tonight’s homework contains two stations that will be graded along with tomorrows classwork grade on solid figure stations. This will be the last grade entered before grades are finalized on Monday. Students are required to answer all the questions on the front page regarding the solid figures shown.
Today in class we continued reading Sir Cumference and the First Round Table. We also took a quiz on Surface Area.
Tonight’s homework is practice in finding area of triangles and rectangles. In the Thick workbook page 333 do only problems 1,2,3,7. These are composite figures. The area formulas for Triangles and Rectangles must be used to solve for each piece of the composite figurel.

Today in class we practiced calculating surface area of rectangular prism and cylinder. Tomorrow there will be a quiz on the properties of solids and surface area. This grade will be included in this 9 week report card. Tonight’s homework is to study for this quiz by practicing problems.
Several students received a zero for their homework last night because they did not do it and some in class had their agendas marked for not even bringing the workbook to class.
Surface area and volume are difficult concepts. It is important that student’s practice using the formulas by doing their homework nightly.
Today in class we started reading Sir Cumference and the First Round Table. This book is a great way to discuss the properties of a circle and distinguish between diameter and radius. We also continued to work surface area of cylinder problems.
Tonight’s homework is in the THIN workbook page 91 – do on numbers 1, 3, 4, 7, 8.
Today in class we practiced calculating surface area. We used the formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism and each student was responsible for working the calculations from the homework worksheet given on Thursday. We will finish reviewing the worksheet on Monday.
Homework this weekend is a two sided worksheet. One side is 3 problems on Surface Area and the second side is 4 questions on identifying the top, front, and side views of 3-D figures.
Today in class we finished talking about the properties of various solid figures. We also started looking at nets to help us work on calculating surface area.
Tonight’s homework is a worksheet on surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Do all 4 questions.
Today in class we began a Study Guide book and entered some critical vocabulary words. We also enter information on finding the Area of circles, triangles, and rectangle/squares.
Homework tonight is a two sided worksheet on finding the area of circles and triangles. DO NOT do numbers 4 and 5 on page 12 – Triangles and Trapezoids.
Today we started a new unit on Solid Figures. We watched a movie in class called “Flatland” that explained the differences between the various dimensions. Homework tonight is in the Thick workbook page 342. The problems require students to ESTIMATE and Area of Circles using 3 instead of 3.14 for pi. Also, r stands for radius.
