What are we learning?
Daily Objective:
 I will be able to identify and classify solids by their faces, edges, and vertices.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
 G.1.B: Recognize the historical development of geometric systems and know
mathematics is developed for a variety of purposes
 G.6.A: Describe and draw the intersection of a given plane with various threedimensional geometric figures
 G.9.B: Formulate and test conjectures about the properties and attributes of
polygons and their component parts based on explorations and [concrete] models
 G.9.D: Analyze the characteristics of polyhedral and other three-dimensional figures
and their component parts based on explorations and concrete models
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:

How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly
Assessment Methods:
 Teacher will take one of the students foldable and present it on the Elmo.
Checks for Understanding:
 Teacher will ask questions for the students to explain their findings on deriving the
formula for the area of regular polygons.

What are we learning?
Daily Objective:
 I will be able to find the volume of prisms.
TEKS/AP/Standards:
 G.1.A: Develop an awareness of the structure of a mathematical system, connecting
definitions, postulates, logical reasoning, and theorems
 G.6.A: Find surface areas and volumes of prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones, cylinders,
and composites of these figures in problem situations
 G.8.D: Analyze the characteristics of polyhedral and other three-dimensional figures
and their component parts based on explorations and concrete models
How will we learn it?
Learning Activities:
 Students will be given printer paper to fold into a prism and explore the volume of a
prism.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly?
Assessment Methods:
 Guided Practice
Checks for Understanding:
 Students will share their findings from the learning activity over the volume of a
prism.
 Teacher will walk around while students are working on guided practice.
