Polygon Task: Triangles Lined Up in A Row WORKSPACE

Shapes Functions, & Patterns Predict the volume of building 100. Find a rule for any building (n).

Block Structure: What is the volume of building 10? WORKSPACE

A)Build the exact models using the appropriate colored linking cubes. We use the linking cubes so we can keep it together when picking it up and moving it around. Remember the cubes cannot hang in space. B)Draw the design on Grid paper or Isometric Dot paper. C)Determine the volume, number of faces, number of edges, and number of vertices of each model Name: ____________________________________ Volume: _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ # of Faces: _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ # of Edges: _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______ # of Vertices: ______ _______ _______ _______ _______ _______

The owner of a large factory has 100 rectangular sheets of metal 11 feet by 8.5 feet. These sheets need to be made into vats that will hold the greatest amount possible of the waste from the plant. These vats must all be of equal size and will be constructed by turning up the sides and welding. You own a metal shop and can get this job if you convince the owner that you can build the vat with the greatest volume. Designing the Largest Box Functions from Formulas

Begin with a rectangular sheet of 8 ½” x 11” cardstock. From each corner, cut a square of assigned size. Fold up the four resulting flaps, and tape them together to form an open box. The volume of the box will vary, depending on the size of the squares. Write a formula that gives the volume of the box as a function of the size of the cutout squares. Use the function to determine what size the squares should be to create the box with the largest volume.

Trim the paper to the grid and cut out a 4 x 4 square from each corner.

Trim the paper to the grid and cut out a 3 x 3 square from each corner.

Trim the paper to the grid and cut out a 5 x 5 square from each corner.

Trim the paper to the grid and cut out a 6 x 6 square from each corner.

Trim the paper to the grid and cut out a 2 x 2 square from each corner.

Area and Volume of 3-D Shapes Use Power Solids to compare the area and volume of 3-D shapes. Investigating Using Power Solids Ordering By Area of the Base Working with your group, put your power solids in order from smallest to largest by the area of their bases. Check the order by tracing the shape onto grid paper and counting the squares or by measuring the dimensions and computing the base area of each solid. Investigating Using Power Solids … Ordering by Volume Working with your group, put your power solids in order from smallest to largest by their volume. Check the order by filling and pouring rice or sand.

Activity: Tripyramidal Box 1. Cut out the patterns on the solid lines. 2.Fold back on the scored lines. 3. Close the nets to make 3 pyramids. 4. Now put the 3 pyramids together to make a box or “tripyrmidal”. 5. Discuss…Volume of CUBE = lwh. The area of the Base can be B=lw, so the Volume of the CUBE could also be written as V = Bh 6. We can now develop a formula for the Volume a Pyramid? The volume of one of the pyramids is given by the formula V = (1/3)lwh = (1/3)Bh.
