Thursday and Friday April 18-19

Thursday:

We finished up Area of 2-D figures and looked at how to decompose or breakdown compound figures into rectangles or triangles to find the area of the complete figure.

Then we began our 3-D unit. The students worked on matching nets to the 3-D figures. the students created a foldable.

Friday:

Looked at Prisms and Pyramids and named their bases, and numbered their surfaces, edges, and vertices. The students constructed figures from nets they were given.

Here are great links to look at the 3D figures:
