More Measurement!

As we continue on in our measurement unit, we have been learning how to find the area of parallelograms and triangles. We will also be learning about finding the volume of triangular prisms and the surface area of triangular prisms.

Often students have difficulty with these latter concepts. They can be quite difficult, especially finding surface area of triangular prisms. I highly encourage students to continue working in Prodigy and to try the activities in the Blendspace units below to assist them in mastering these concepts.

Towards the end of our measurement unit, we will be looking at capacity and volume and measuring mass, along with metric conversions for these units.

EQAO is coming soon (May 25-29), so the final unit we will complete before the testing will be on transformational geometry, which is the movement of shapes on a grid. These involve flips (reflections), slides (translations) and turn (rotations). I will post a Blendspace lesson on these when we begin the unit.

In the meantime, here are some Blendspace lessons for area of parallelograms and triangles, as well as volume and surface area of triangular prisms.
