Unit 6 - Surface Area and Volume for Rectangular Prisms

Unit 6 - Surface Area and Volume for Rectangular Prisms

Summary of Knowledge

The goal of this investigation was to discover and create formulas to find boluma and surface area of a rectangular prism using logic. Students should understand how to find a rectangular prism's characteristics and main formulas to apply them in any situation, even in real life.

Key Vocabulary

• Cube - a 3 dimensional shape with 6 identical square faces.
• Base - the face of a 3 dimensional shape chosen to be the bottom face.
• Surface Area - the area required to cover a 3 dimensional shape.
• Rectangular Prisms - a prism with a top and a bottom (base) that are congruent rectangles.

Task Analysis

Volume

1. Find the length, with, and height (dimensions)                                             
2. Multiply them all. (l * w * h)

Surface Area

1. Find the dimensions.
2. Add length * width + length * height + width * height. ((((((You do this to find the 3 distinct faces' area and then add them all))))))
3. Multiply it by 2. ((((Because you only have one half of the rectangle)))))

Formula: 2 * ( l * w + l * h + h * w)


Examples

1. Clue - one face of the cube has 25 cm²                                                        

a.) What is the surface area of the cube?
b.) What is the volume of the cube?

2.

  

Surface Area = 2* (4*18+18*6+4*6) = 6528


Volume = 4*18*6 = 432

Unit 4 - Multiplying and Dividing

Summary of Knowledge:

In unit 4, Accentuate the Negative we learned how to work with positive and negative numbers. Although negative numbers are not very common in daily life experiences, they are very important information. As well, we learned how to work with exponents when adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing. We noticed certain rules to solve the problems in this unit.

Key Vocabulary

Commutative Property: The order of the addition or multiplication of two numbers that does not change the results or its product.

Examples:

2 + 3 = 5 / 3 + 2 = 5 / 4 x 2 = 8 / 2 x 4 = 8

Absolute Value: The absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line.

Examples:

/-3/ 3

Task Analisis: for multiplying and dividing negative numbers.

1. 
   
   
   
   
   
   First multiply/divide the numbers like if there were not negative or positive signs(do a normal division/multiplication).






2. 
   
   
   
   
   
   
   If there is an even number of negative signs, then the product will be positive, but if there is an odd number of negative signs, then the product will be negative.

Examples:


Multiplication : -2 x 6 = -12 , -12 x -3 = 36

Division: -144 /12 = -12 , -56 / -8 = 7

Here are some fact families

12 x 3 = -36 2/100 /

3 x -12 = -36

-36 / -12 = 3

-36 / 3 = -12

Next you will show your abilities and skills in this quiz that we have prepared for you...

Unit 5 - Scientific Notation

Summary of knowledge:

The goals for this investigation are to remember all what we learned in this unit and help our classmates and us to study for the final exam. Students should understand the difference between scientific notation and standard notation and how to work them.



Key Vocabulary:
Exponent: A number, letter, or any quantity written on the right hand of and and above another quantity and the denoting how many times the latter is repeated as a factor to produce the power indicated.

Scientific Notation: A short way to write very large or very small numbers. A number written in scientific notation is expressed in this form: A number greater than or equal to one but less than 10x10 raised to an exponent.

Standard Notation: The most common form of written numbers. For example 254 is the standard notation for 2 hundreds, 5 tens, and 4 ones.



Task Analysis:

Scientific notation to standard notation:

1.- Rewrite the number that is multiplied by ten.
2.- If the exponent next to the ten is positive, move that number of times from the decimal to the right, and if it is negative from from decimal to the left.

Examples:


10^8=100,000,000

3.6 x 10^11 = 360,000,000,000

7 x 10^3 = 7,000

7.56 x 10^-7 = .000000756

4.5 x 10^-2 = .045

6 x 10^-5 = .00006

Standard notation to scientific notation:
1.- Put a decimal point after the first number of the number sentence.
2.- From there count now how many spaces there are till the end of the number.
3.- The you eliminate the zeros at the end and you write the number times ten and then you put the number of spaces counted as the exponent.

Examples:

10,000,000= 1 x 10^7

7,534,000= 7.534 x 10^6

8,007,000= 8.007 x 10^6

.0005768= 5.768 x 10^-4

.057 = 5.7 x 10^-2

.0008 = 8 x 10^-4

Unit 5- Exponent Rules

SUMMARY OF KNOWLEDGE
One of the main and primary goals for this investigation was to learn the order of operations. This included exponents. Exponents need a complex process in order to work out. Students should understand multiplication to work with exponents. Another goal was to use exponents to shorten equations for easier solving.
KEY VOCABULARY:

Exponents: Small number (in size) located on the top right part of another number, to represent the power to which the second is to be raised up.
Ex: 6^4= 6×6×6×6= 1296
Base: The bigger number below the exponent, called factor too, that is multiplied by itself.
Ex: 6^4= 6 is the base of this example

TASK ANALYSIS:

When we want to solve a number called Base (B) "Powered" to Exponent (E). (y=B^e)
First we must see the value of "E". If it is zero, then any base "powered" to zero is (1). (y=B^0=1)
If "e" is greater than zero, then B^e=B*B*B...*B. The result is the multiplication of B*B as many times as the value of "e" indicates.
If "e" is less than zero, (negative number) then B^-e
1/(B^e)
EXAMPLES:
1._ 6^0 = 1
2._ 6^4 = 6x6x6x6
3._ 6^-2 = -2/6^-2 = 6x6

1._ 6^0 = 1
2._ 6^4= 6x6x6x6x
1._ 3^2x3^7=3^9
2._ [(5^2)^3] ^2=5^3×2=5^6
3._ y^3/y^5=y^-2
4._ (6×5)^3=6^3×5^3

Here are some useful links that will help you with exponents for the final exam:

Unit 6- Order of Operations

SUMMARY OF KNOWLEDGE:


The goal of this investiagation is to get to know how to multiply , divide , add , and substract negative and positive numbers together.
By this we learn how to solve MATHEMATICAL EXPRESSIONS!

KEY VOCABULARY:
ORDER OF OPERTATIONS:
Established order in which to perform mathematical OPERATIONS!

TASK ANALYSIS:

1. First do parenthesis.
2. Then do exponents.
3. Then you do multiplications or division!
4. Then additions or susbtractions left to right!
5. When you are done with all these steps and their answers you add the ones that were in parenthesis with exponents with multiplication or division and or addition and substraction.

EXAMPLES:








[72*(36/ 40)]+10=11








7*7=49








36/40=0.9








49*9=44.1+10=11








([(44*4)+3]+-15) /140








((4*4*4*4*4)+3]+-15) /140








([256*4]+3)+-15) /140








([1,024]+3)+-15)/140








(1,027)+-15)/140








(1,012)/140=7.22

Unit 5 - Square and Cube Roots.

Summary of Knowledge.

When finished the unit you should know that to find the square root of a number, you want to find some number that when multiplied by itself, gives you the original number, the cube root of a number is some number that when multiplied by itself 3 times, gives you the original number.

Key Vocabulary.

Square Root: A divisor of a quantity that when squared gives the quantity. For example, the square roots of 25 are 5 and −5 because 5 × 5 = 25 and (−5) × (−5) = 25.

Cube Root:the number or quantity whose cube is a given number or quantity: 2 is the cube root of 8 (usually written 3square root 8 or 81/3).

Irrational Number: A number that cannot be expressed as a ratio between two integers and is not an imaginary number. If written in decimal notation, an irrational number would have an infinite number of digits to the right of the decimal point, without repetition.

Task Analysis.

Square Root

1. Have number of which you want to find square root.
2. Find the numbers square, a number that when multiplied by itself gives the initial number.
3. Plot number on problem.

Cubic Root

1. Have number of which you want to find cube root.
2. Find the numbers cube, a number that when multiplied by itself three times gives the initial number.
3. Plot number on problem.

Examples.
Square Root of 9 = 3, because 3 x 3 = 9.
Cube Root of 27 = 3, because 3 x 3 = 9 x 3 = 27, that equals 3 x 3 x 3.
