20-3 Surface Area, Volume and Capacity

Chapter 3, Review for UNIT TEST

Name of Lesson:
Objectives: Review concepts from
all four sections of the workbook,
using a worksheet with examples
not found in the workbook.
Curriculum Objectives:
Develop algebraic reasoning and
measurement skills.
Previous knowledge:
Ingrade7,studentswillhave
developedandappliedaformula
fordeterminingtheareaof
triangles,parallelograms,and
circles.
In grade 8, students will have
developed and applied formulas to
determine the volume of right
rectangular prisms and right
triangular prisms.
In grade 9, students determined the
surface area of composite 3D
objects to solve problems.
In grade 10, students solved
problems using SI and imperial
units that involve the surface area
and volume of 3D objects
including right cones, right
cylinders, right prisms, right
pyramids and spheres.

Duration: 80 minutes
Specific Curriculum Objectives:

Solve problems that require the

manipulation and application of formulas
related to: surface area.

solve word problems involving surface area
and volume.
Students will review how to find the
capacity of a particular 3 dimensional
shape.

Possible Solution:

Lesson

Students may struggle to differentiate

between surface area and volume, and may
use the wrong formulas available to them.
Students may struggle with word problems
without any visual aids.
Students may struggle to understand the
difference between volume and capacity.
Students may struggle to make the
appropriate conversions in order to figure
out capacity.
Complete the problems together as a class,
as well as give them sufficient time to work
on certain problems individually.
Use 3D objects to help students visualize
certain problems.

Worksheet.
Problem #1,2 Finding the surface area and volume for a
rectangular prism and a pyramid. (10 min, let students have
individual time)
Problem #3 Finding the volume of a cylinder and a cone with
the same dimensions and comparing their volumes. (5-10min,
together as a class)
Problem #4 Find the surface area of a hexagonal pyramid. (510min, together as a class)
Problem #5 Determining what happens to the surface area of a
cube when its side lengths are quadrupled in length. (10min,
let students have individual time)
Problem #6 Making a prediction about what happens to the
capacity of two cylinders with the same height but different
radius, and then calculating. (10 min, let students have
individual time)
Problem #7 Finding the volume of a silo and its surface area
without a visual aid. (10 min, let students have individual work
time)
Problem #8 Find the volume of a composite shape. (5-10min,
together as a class)
Problem #9 Using the visual of a Pringles can, finding its
volume and capacity.(10 min, let students have individual work

time)
Assessment

Reflection

Formative Assessment during work time.

Meaning ask the students what they understand about
which formulas to use, and why they used it.
Provide a lot of questioning throughout the lesson and
call on certain students who do not normally
participate. Encourage these students to explain how
they achieved the answers they did.
Sit individually with students and work through
problems one on one with them. Encourage them to use
visual aids provided at the front.
Provide supplemental help for students who need it.
