"Surface Area Net" Menu
Name: Due:
Appetizer(choose one)
This appetizer will wet your noodle through exploring nets for rectangular prisms and triangular prisms. Choose one of the three dimensional shapes (rectangular prisms or triangular prisms) and illustrate the net of that shape.
1. Cut apart a real world rectangular prism (cereal box, tissue box, etc) and measure/mark all creases and edges to illustrate the two dimensional net
2. Draw one of the three dimensional figures and create a net on graph paper with all edges measured/marked
3. Draw all lateral surfaces of a box or triangular prism on chart paper with all edges measured/marked
4. Wrap a box in wrapping paper with no overlap to create a net with all creases and edges measured/marked
Main Dish
1. Calculate the area of all shapes in your net. You will then need to find the sum of the area of all shapes. Label your answer with units cubed (units3).
Bonus: Convert Surface Area from cm to mm and from cm to inches.
Side Dish(choose one)
1. Create a step-by-step list of directions to find the Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape
2. Design a poster to show other students how to find the Surface Area of three-dimensional shapes.
3. Write a script for a podcast to help students find Surface Area of a three-dimensional shape.
4. Create a video using visuals and spoken instructions on all steps of finding Surface Area.
Dessert (if you are still hungry)
1. Create a net of a triangular prism with all dimensions marked/measured, and calculate the Surface Area by finding the sum of all lateral surfaces.
2. Cut apart a Toblerone bar package to create a net of a triangular prism and calculate the Surface Area by measuring all dimensions and calculating the sum of all lateral surfaces.
