OBJECTIVE: Find the surface area and volume of compound shapes[1.2.1][1.2.2][1.2.3] ACTIVITIES: Generated problems - compound surface areas. Students need to develop a process to work through a solution. NOTES: Problems will be generated for the class and for homework. HOMEWORK: Copy and solve the homework problem.

Solutions grid: Cylinders Surface - Make one for EACH problem Formulas:  [Circumference]  C = x d  [Diameter/Radius] d = 2 x r and r = d ÷ 2 [Circle]   A = x r2  [Rectangle]   A = lw  [PI]   = 3.14 or 22/7
Face/Part (Samples listed)	Formula	Substitute Values in Formula	Sub-Answer (include units)
Top	A = x r2	A = 3.14 x ___2	A = ____ un2
Bottom	A = x r2	A = 3.14 x ___2	A = ____ un2
Cylinder	A = l x w A = C x h (C = x d)	A = 3.14 x ____ x _____	A = ______un2
		Total Surface Area	_______ un2

Make Up Work Options [Replacement Problems]

Time permitting, Mr. LeMieux will post problems which can be used to replace some of the assignments students have chosen to not do. Since this is inherently unfair to those students who have completed their assignments on time, students' replacement work will be held to the highest standard of neatness and completeness. Sloppy, last minute attempts will be rejected. Students must review and follow the guidelines listed below. Diagrams, tables, and illustrations are encouraged. Labels and answer statements are required. None of these procedures are new. They have been emphasized all year.

Credit will be granted at the rate of 1 credit for each two, complete solutions. The accuracy of the answer as a requirement will be left entirely at the discretion of Mr. LeMieux. These problems are entirely voluntary.
