Real world application List some real world situations where you would need to calculate surface area or volume……
Group Exercise Time! In small groups find the dimensions of the room and answer the following questions: If we wanted to paint the walls and knew that one can of paint covers 350 ft², how much paint would we need to buy? How much would it cost to carpet the floor if it cost $20 per ft²?
Comparison time…. Which group would be the best group to hire to carpet or paint the room? Why?
Exit question: How much air is in a soccer ball which has a diameter of 8.65inches. (remember to find the volume of a sphere use 4/3 пr³, where r is the radius or half the diameter)
PA state standards: 2.3.6.F Estimate and verify measurements of length, perimeter, area, volume, capacity, temperature, time, weight, and angles. 2.3.8.C Calculate volume, surface area, and degrees of angles; calculate circumference and area of circles, and use a measurement formula to solve for a missing quantity.
