Side Front Top 12 in 4 in 3 in 3 3 4 4 12 Front Side Top = 3 in x 12 in = 3 in x 4 in = 4 in x 12 in = 36 in 2 = 12 in 2 = 48 in 2 2) Find the circumference and area of a circle with radius 5 cm. Radius = 5 cm C = 2πr = 2 x 3.14 x 5 cm = 31.4 cm A = πr 2 = 3.14 x 5 cm x 5 cm = 78.5 cm 2

Agenda: 1) Warm Up – Individual Work 2) Launch – Whole class discussion 3) Explore: Making the Equation for Surface Area – Partner Activity 4) Class work 5) Review Class work 6) Summary 7) Exit Ticket – Individual Work to be handed in to teacher OBJECTIVE: SWBAT find the surface area of a rectangular prism

16. Launch – Whole Class Discussion Are you ready for some algebra?! A formula uses only letters, numbers, and symbols to find a mathematical value. You already know area formulas for some shapes: Length (L) Width (W) Rectangle Triangle base (b) Height (h) Circle radius (r) Area = L x W Area = ½ b x h Area = 3.14 x r x r = πr 2

17. Scaffolding Need a hint? Write the formulas for the front, side 1, and the top. Then write the formulas for the back, side 2, and the bottom. Explore With your partner, try to write a formula to find the surface area using l for length, w for width, and h for height. Back Side 2 Bottom Side 1 Front Length (l) Width (w) Top Height (h) Length (l) Height (h) Width (w) Don’t forget that there are six sides on a rectangular prism!

18. Back Side 2 Bottom Side 1 Front Length (l) Width (w) Height (h) Area of the Front = SA = Length x Height LH Area of the Back = Length x Height Area of Side 1 = Area of Side 2 = Top Width x Height Length x Width Width x Height Area of Top = Length x Width Area of Bottom = 2+ WH2+ LW2 Length Width Height Scaffolding Formula for Surface Area – Whole Class

19. SA = LH WH + 2 LW 2+ 2 One cool thing about this equation is that it doesn’t matter in what order you find the area of the faces. SA = 2 WH +2 LW + 2 LH This is an example of the Commutative Property of Addition ( a + b = b + a )

20. Find the surface area of this rectangular prism: 6 cm 3 cm 4 cm Let’s try an example… SA = 2LH + 2WH + 2LW Front 2 x 6 cm x 4 cm = 48 cm 2 2 x 3 cm x 4 cm Side = 24 cm 2 2 x 3 cm x 6 cm Top = 36 cm 2 108 cm 2 + + 4 4 6 6 3 3 Scaffolding Practice

21. Take a shot at solving some of the problems on the class work. I’ll time you! Class Work

22. Class work #1 Back to Solutions SA = 2(L x H) + 2(W x H) + 2(L x W) SA = 2( 8 x 5 ) + 2( 4 x 5 ) + 2( 8 x 4 ) SA = 2 (40 cm 2 ) + 2( 20 cm 2 ) + 2( 32 cm 2 ) SA = 80 cm 2 + 40 cm 2 + 64 cm 2 SA = 184 cm 2

23. Class work #2 Back to Solutions SA = 2(L x H) + 2(W x H) + 2(L x W) SA = 2( 12 x 4 ) + 2( 3 x 4 ) + 2( 12 x 3 ) SA = 2 (48 in 2 ) + 2( 12 in 2 ) + 2( 36 in 2 ) SA = 96 in 2 + 24 in 2 + 72 in 2 SA = 192 in 2
