2/29 Lesson 9.2.2 Cross Sections of 3-D shapes

1.  Warm-up:  A box of Mr. Rob's Super Duper Donut Holes has a volume of 48 in3.  

a)  What is one possible set of dimensions of the box?  What is the surface area of the box?

**Bonus question:  What is the minimum surface area, i.e. uses least amount of cardboard, that still satisfies the volume requirement of 48 in3

2.  Lesson 9.2.2 Cross Sections of 3-D shapes

  • Objective:  I will experiment with creating cross-sections of rectangular prisms and rectangular pyramids.
  • Problems 61 and 62 with your same partner from Friday.
    • Take turns cutting cross-sections in your 3-D shapes
      • Cross-sections are the INSIDE face of the shape that has been cut
    • Trace the resulting cross-section on your paper
    • Switch roles.  The next partner will re-make the prism and then create another cross-section
    • The GOAL is to make as many different types of cross-sections as possible (triangle, square, rectangle, trapezoid, etc.)
Homework:  BuzzMath: Cross-sections of 3-D shapes (link in GC)
      All data collection for Statistics project should be brought to class tomorrow
