Chapter 8.6 Geometry: SURFACE AREA of Rectangle Prisms

Hi, today we are marching onward with SURFACE AREA of Rectangular Prisms.   
This takes in to account all of the math we have been talking about in the early sections of this chapter- 2-D figures use area and the 3-D figures use volume. 
 The surface area is the outer area- container- of the 3-D figure.  You find the area of each face- then find out how many of these sides you have- then add them all up to  find the SURFACE AREA.  
Somewhat tedious, but easy.


And here is Caitlin with her little ball of fur.  Milo is just 8 weeks old and follows Caitlin around everywhere she goes! 
OMW, what a little love bug! Good luck finding those ticks!!!!


Homework:  Read the blog, takes notes in your Reference Spiral and watch the videos!



As always in MATH,

Mrs M
