Order of operations review w/exponents
Filling and wrapping Unit 1

OBJECTIVE: Wasl review. •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: Review the order of operations and basic exponents information. FRom the 1st unit of the filling and wrapping book, students will use 1cm graph paper to make nets of basic boxes and record the surface area and calculate the volume. NOTES: HOMEWORK: TBA

Plots - Box/whisker and stem/leaf
Surface area and volumes review.
Equations from data tables

OBJECTIVE: Wasl review. ACTIVITIES/ASSESSMENT: Students will create a box and whisker plot from a provided data set; Students will make a stem and leaf plot from the same data. Students will compile a histogram from the same data set; Review the basics of surface area and volume for rectangular prisms and cylinders.. Review writing a rule (equation) from a data table in the slope-intercept form. NOTES: HOMEWORK: TBA
