Let’s figure out missing angles using equations.
Students explore angle relationships in this section. They begin by using pattern blocks to determine how many of each type of angle fit around a point or in another known angle, then use that information to determine the angle measures of the pattern blocks.
Next, students move to specific angle relationships including complementary and supplementary, and use that understanding to...
Let’s figure out missing angles using equations.
During these lessons students think about what conditions are needed to determine a unique figure, in preparation for future work with congruence in grade 8 and high school. These lessons continue the language used in grade 6: Two polygons are identical if they match up exactly when placed one on top of the other.
Students first experiment with creating polygons...
Let’s draw some more triangles.
In this section, students find the surface area and volume of right prisms. They begin with making sense of the structure of a prism using cross-sections parallel to the base of the prism. They build on this idea, and on their work in earlier grades with rectangular prisms, to conclude that the volume of any prism can be determined by...
Let’s work with surface area and volume in context.
In this final section, students have the opportunity to apply their thinking from throughout the unit. Because this is a short section followed by an End-of-Unit Assessment, there are no section goals or checkpoint questions.
Let’s build a triangular prism from scratch.
