    Vocabulary

    • Area
    • volume
    • Surface area
    • Two-dimensional figures
    • Three-dimensional solids
    • Triangles
    • quadrilaterals
    • polygons
    • Cubes
    • Right rectangular prisms

    Knowledge

    Students know:
    • that volume of any right prism is the product of the height and area of the base.
    • The volume relationship between pyramids and prisms with the same base and height.
    • The surface area of prisms and pyramids can be found using the areas of triangular and rectangular faces.

    Skills

    Students are able to:
    • find the area and perimeter of two-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, and polygons.
    • Use a net of a three-dimensional figure to determine the surface area.
    • Find the volume and surface area of pyramids, prisms, or three-dimensional objects composed of cubes, pyramids, and right prisms.

    Understanding

    Students understand that:
    • two-dimensional and three-dimensional figures can be decomposed into smaller shapes to find the area, surface area, and volume of those figures.
    • the area of the base of a prism multiplied by the height of the prism gives the volume of the prism.
    • the volume of a pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a prism with the same base.
