BIG IDEA: All solids (boxes) can be folded from a flat form called a net. This net forms the surface of the box and its measure is called surface area. Lesson One: A Solid Review Day 1 Investigation A Solid Review................................................................. 9 Students sort and classify a set of six solids to recognize and review their attributes. Comics A Solid Review............................................................................. 17 Reviews the attributes of six solids and helps clarify associated vocabulary. Video Introducing Solids Provides background of the general concepts related to solids including classifying, naming, and types of surfaces. Lesson Two: Box Building Day 2 Investigation Box Building ................................................................... 19 Students use a net to build a rectangular solid to understand its characteristics and to develop the meaning of surface area as a sum of the areas of the faces. Animation Folding a Net and Unfolding a Cube ................................... 21 A box unfolds to expose its net. The concept of surface area is illustrated. Comics Box Building .............................................................................. 22 Covers what a net is and the meaning of surface area. PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES 5 © 2010 AIMS Education Foundation BIG IDEA: The space inside a solid is its volume. By finding the area of a layer that covers the base (B) and multiplying by the number of layers (h), one determines what it takes to fill the solid. Lesson Three: Filling Boxes Day 3 Investigation Filling Boxes .................................................................. 25 By filling a box with cubes a layer at a time, students recognize the volume as a measure of filling and the relationship of volume to cubes in a layer and number of layers. Animation Boxes, Bases, and Blocks .................................................... 27 Seeing a rectangular solid built by row and layer provides a visual memory of the meaning and formula for finding the volume of a rectangular solid. Day 4 Comics Filling Boxes ................................................................................ 28 Emphasizes that volume is a measure filling and is reported in cubic units. It also helps students understand the formula for finding the volume of a rectangular-based prism. Practice: Box Building and Filling .................................................................. 30 Provides an opportunity for students to apply their understanding of calculating surface area and volume to larger nets and solids. Lesson Four: Special Box Building Day 5 Investigation Special Box Building...................................................... 33 Students use nets to build a triangular-based prism and a cylinder in order to understand their characteristics and to develop the meaning of surface area as a sum of the areas of the surfaces. Animation Unfolding Prisms and Cylinders ......................................... 36 Prisms and a cylinder unfold to expose their nets. The concept of surface area is illustrated. Comics Special Box Building ................................................................... 37 Reviews formulas for finding the area of a triangle and circle, then progresses to summing the areas of all component parts to determine surface area. PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES 6 © 2010 AIMS Education Foundation Lesson Five: Filling Special Boxes Day 6 Investigation Filling Special Boxes ...................................................... 39 A prism and a cylinder are filled with cubes a layer at a time to show volume as a measure of filling. Students see that the number of cubes in a layer has to be determined by formulas for area. Animation Filling Special Boxes ........................................................... 41 Seeing prisms and a cylinder filled a layer at a time provides a visual model of the formulas or procedures for finding the volume. Day 7 Comics Filling Special Boxes .................................................................... 42 Reinforces the use of the formula V = B · h for finding the volume of prisms and cylinders. Practice: Special Box Building and Filling ...................................................... 44 Students apply what they have learned to more abstract and larger situations. BIG IDEA: The volume of a pyramid or a cone is one-third the volume of a prism or cylinder with the same base (B) and equal height. Lesson Six: Building Pointed Boxes Day 8 Investigation Building Pointed Boxes .................................................. 47 Students build a rectangular-based pyramid, a triangular-based pyramid, and a cone to understand their characteristics and to develop the meaning of surface area as a sum of the areas of the surfaces. Animation Unfolding Pointed Boxes..................................................... 50 A rectangular-based pyramid, triangular-based pyramids, and a cone unfold to expose their nets. The concept of surface area is illustrated. Comics Building Pointed Boxes, Part 1 .....................................................51 Compares finding the surface areas of a square-based pyramid and a triangular-based pyramid. Building Pointed Boxes, Part 2 ...................................................................... 53 Looks at the process of finding the surface area of a cone. Video Building Solids Demonstrates with physical models how to determine the surface area by determining the type, size, and number of the polygons and shapes that compose the surface. PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES 7 © 2010 AIMS Education Foundation Lesson Seven: Filling Pointed Boxes Day 9 Investigation Filling Pointed Boxes .................................................... 55 Pouring cereal from pyramids and cones into corresponding prisms and cylinders allows the discovery that the volume of a pyramid or cone is one-third of its corresponding prism or cylinder. Animation Pouring Pyramids and Cones ............................................. 57 BBs transferring from pyramids and cones to prisms and cylinders reinforce the one-third factor in the formulas. Comics Filling Pointed Boxes ................................................................... 58 Stresses the one-third relationship of the volume of a triangularbased pyramid to a triangular-based prism with equal bases and heights, also the one-third relationship of the volume of a cone to a cylinder with equal bases and heights. Video Filling Solids Demonstrates with physical models how to determine the volume of a solid by layering or referring to other solids. Day 10 Problem Solving Pyramid Puzzle........................................................61 Filling a cube with three pyramids reinforces the one-third relationship of a pyramid to its corresponding prism. Comics Pyramid Puzzle ........................................................................... 64 Verifies that the formula for the volume of a pyramid is one-third the volume of a cube with the same height and base. Video When Will I Use This? Shows students how surface area and volume are applied in realworld problems. Day 11 Assessment Prisms, Cylinders, Pyramids, and Cones Assessment ...... 65 Two assessments provide familiar contexts for determining surface area and volume from drawings.

Comparing and contrasting the different solids requires repeated examination, thereby providing a review of the names of the solids and a more extensive definition of each one. To measure surface area and volume of the solids, students will need to know the numbers and shapes of faces/surfaces along with how the solids are formed from nets. For demonstration purposes, Build the six solids from card stock. These models can be used in all the investigations. n iioon t t a a iigg Materials t t s s e e v Scissors nv IIn Geometric Solid Templates Card stock A SOLID SOLIDReview tig Have each group of students cut apart a set of six illustrations.

We used prisms in science class? really? We looked at the number of faces and their shapes. in our activity, we looked to see which ones have only flat faces and which ones have a curved surface. Class, yesterday we reviewed the names of six different solids and we tried to describe each of them. 4. How is a cylinder similar to a prism? 2. What is the shape of a lateral face of a prism? Yeah, remember you can shine a light on a prism and see colors like a rainbow. 1 let’s look at several different prisms and talk about what we know about them. I know you’re quite familiar with these 3-dimensional shapes from earlier grades, but there were For a few words that were new example, what to you, right? do we call this 3-dimensional shape? Remember that in math solid simply means 3-dimensional. Prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids are all 3-dimensional shapes. sometimes we call them geometric solids. 5. How is a cone similar to a pyramid? 3. What is the shape of a lateral face of a pyramid? ESSENTIAL MATH SERIES 1. What does the word solid mean in geometry? THINGS TO LOOK FOR: A Solid Review MEASUREMENT OF PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES I think they use it in football. I’ve heard of the word lateral. those are the lateral faces. the other three faces are rectangles around the sides of the prism. The bases are the triangles at the top and bottom. Look at the prism that’s pictured here. All of the other faces of a prism are rectangles and are called lateral faces. Does that make sense, redmond? Lateral?? what does that mean? I bet you didn’t know that, mark. Sure, I knew that. I know everything. Yeah, I think it does. Well, the word lateral means to the side or off to the side. So if the base is a triangle, it’s a triangular prism, if it’s a square it’s a square-based prism, and so on. The shape of the base of a prism gives it its name. Yep, the quarterback in football sometimes throws the ball to a receiver who is just to his left or right side instead of down That’s field. called a lateral pass. Two of the faces are always congruent and parallel. They can be squares or rectangles or triangles or pentagons or any other polygon shape. these two opposite faces are called bases of the prism. 2 PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES 18 © 2010 AIMS Education Foundation LATERAL FACES I thought the point was always kind of right over the middle of the base? But the other faces on a pyramid all have to be triangles, right? Thank you, vanessa. that’s exactly right. You’re right. most of the pyramids you’ve seen before these were like that. but, it’s okay for the point to be off to the side like it is on that one. And, if it’s a pyramid, the lateral faces are triangles and if it’s a prism, they’re rectangles. So, the lateral faces are around the sides no matter what the 3-dimensional shape. That’s right, shuttle. Class, these two 3-Dimensional shapes are pyramids. How is a pyramid different from a prism? Finally, class, let’s talk about the cylinder and the cone. Ms. Cho, I didn’t know that the top point on a pyramid could be off to one side like that. I get it. the lateral faces of a pyramid all meet at one point, so they have to be triangles. Wow, red, nice. are those other triangle faces of the pyramid called lateral faces, too? it’s different because the pyramid just has one base. (see? everything.) Think about the number of bases in a prism and in a pyramid. Yes, they are. that’s a very good question, elora. it’s also kind of like a prism, because the base of a pyramid can be a triangle, or a square, or some other shape like that. 3 The cylinder has two bases just like the prism and the cone has only one base just like the pyramid. I know! You’re right, redmond, but they are a lot alike. that’s all shuttle and vanessa have been trying to say. Yeah, I guess they are a lot alike. Oh, and so are the pyramid and the cone, right? ms. cho, isn’t a cylinder really just like a prism that has bases that are circles? That’s just like how on the pyramid the lateral faces all come to a point at the top. That means that a cylinder has two bases that are circles, and one curved lateral surface. Let’s see if I can answer Elora’s question. How about instead of calling it a lateral face, let’s call it a curved lateral surface. How are the cylinders and the cone similar to the prism and the pyramid? Or, you could say that a prism is like a cylinder that has bases that are triangles or squares or some other shape. The cone is just like it, except it has only one circular base. What??? what are you saying? isn’t a cylinder a cylinder and a prism a prism. on the cone, the curved lateral surface comes to a point at the top. Class, this is a good start. we’re going to be doing a lot more with these shapes. That’s right, redmond. The face is just one piece and it curves around the base, right? Ms. Cho, it looks like the cylinder and the cone each just have one lateral face. 4 PRISMS, PYRAMIDS, CYLINDERS, AND CONES © 2010 AIMS Education Foundation
