Lesson #1 title: PART 1 = Calculating Volume of right rectangular prisms using FORMULA
Date:
THROUGH-LINE: Beauty – creating
PERIMETER becomes ‘beautiful’ when it can be thought of as the total distance around a lake in summer; AREA becomes
‘beautiful’ when it can be thought of as the size of a blanket spread out for a summer picnic; and VOLUME becomes ‘beautiful’
when it can be thought of as the amount of space (how much food) inside that picnic basket (P = 1-D  A = 2-D  V = 3-D)
OUTCOMES:
1. Use a generalized formula (V=l x w x h) for determining the volume of right rectangular prisms
then solve for V.
MATERIAL NEEDED: highlighters, pencil, blue pen, calculator
