Geometry and Measurement (cont.) 6.3.1.1 6.3.1.2 Calculate the surface area and volume of prisms and use appropriate units, such as cm 2 and cm 3. Justify the formulas used. Justification may involve decomposition, nets or other models. Calculate the area of quadrilaterals. Quadrilaterals include squares, rectangles, rhombuses, parallelograms, trapezoids and kites.

Use models of triangles to illustrate this fact. 6.3.2.3 Develop and use formulas for the sums of the interior angles of polygons by decomposing them into triangles. Overarching Understandings Students will understand different contexts require specific tools, units of measure and formulas to explain and solve mathematical problems. formulas, sketches and nets can be used to analyze and create regular and irregular two- dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to support mathematical arguments. Topical Understandings Students will understand Three-dimensional figures can be identified through descriptions, classifications, and drawings. Formulas for finding area, volume and surface area can be developed and justified through various informal strategies. There are relationships between angles in geometric figures. There are appropriate units of measurement for various types of mathematical situations. Different aspects of measurement can be used to solve real-world problems. Course Essential Questions To understand, students will need to consider: How do I choose the appropriate tool, unit and formula to solve problems accurately and efficiently? How can I use what I know about two-dimensional and threedimensional objects to solve problems and support my thinking? Topical Essential Questions To understand, students will need to consider: How do I best represent three-dimensional figures? How can justifying formulas help me to understand the characteristics of three-dimensional shapes? How can geometry and measurement help me to solve realworld problems? How are the angles formed by intersecting lines or within polygons related to each other? 2
know Students will need to know the following (e.g. facts, concepts, generalizations, rules, theories, principles) there are relationships among angles and how they are formed in polygons. the meaning of length, capacity and weight. there is a relationship between two and three-dimensional figures and how surface area and volume can be determined. To understand, students will need to be able to do Students will be able to do (e.g. skills, procedures, processes) Distinguish between the concepts of surface area and volume; Use two- dimensional representations of three- dimensional figures to visualize and solve problems involving surface area and volume; Use and justify formulas for surface area and volume using nets, decomposition, or other models; Find lengths from given areas or volumes; Estimate and solve simple equations involving formulas by using number sense, properties of operations, and the idea of maintaining equality on both sides of an equation. Use the relationships formed by angles of intersecting lines to solve problems (adjacent, complementary, vertical, supplementary, etc). Develop a formula and find sums of interior angles of polygons by decomposing them into triangles and using the fact the sum of the interior angles of any triangle is 180 o ; 3

Students may be confused about why square units are also used to measure area and cubic units to measure volume, especially when the shapes or objects being measured are not squares or cubes; Students may believe that if the volume of a three-dimensional figure is known, then its surface area can be determined. Students are unfamiliar with the symbolic notation used to identify angles and their measures. Students have difficulty distinguishing between angle as movement, as in rotation; angle as a geometric shape, a delineation of space by two intersecting lines; and angle as a measure. Students may use the point of intersection to name all angles formed by a pair of intersecting lines. For example, all angles formed by a pair of lines that intersect at point A may be referred to as angle A. Students confuse the terms supplementary and complementary. Students believe that complementary and supplementary angles must be adjacent. Students believe that all adjacent angles are either complementary or supplementary. 4
