1. -Paper Pool Rules .
2. -Pentominos......
OBJECTIVE: [1.2.1]•To develop the concept of surface area by
counting the number of unit squares needed to wrap (enclose) a
rectangular box •To explore the realtionship between the
surface area of a box and the total area of the unit squares
needed to wrap the box •To develop the concept of volume of a
rectangular box, and strategies for finding it. by filling a
box with unit cubes. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Warm-Ups: Rates,
Standard and Metric measures: IN class - variation of Problem 1
on page 10. Make up a set of pentominos (arrangements of 5
squares) How many of them will form an open box? NOTES: Paper
Pool rules check. HOMEWORK: 3 Fraction Problems + P10-11 2-7

1. =WarmUps Test....
2. =Fractions Test..
3. -Homework: Page 20#8,Page 21#11..
OBJECTIVE: •To develop a strategy for finding the volume of a
rectangular prism by filling it with unit cubes. and to
recognize that the number of cubes in the bottom layer is equal
to the area of the base •To determine that the total number of
unit cubes in a rectangular prism is equal to the area of the
base times the height (the volume), and to discover that this
strategy works for any prism •To learn that the surface area
of a prism is the sum of the areas of its faces, and to apply
this strategy to any right prism •To reason about problmes
involving volume and surface area. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT:
Warm-Ups Test: Rates, Standard and Metric measures: Fractions
Test 14-16: Page 25, Problem 3.1 'Finding the Volumes of Boxes'
Do the problme and the follow-up. NOTES: HOMEWORK: P23 1&2
