Surface Area and Volume

Grade 10s have been working on surface area and volume calculations, but it seems to be overwhelming everyone a bit. For some it’s knowing the difference between surface area and volume, for others it’s that the formula sheet has so many letters and equations, and for others they don’t know how to substitute in values and solve.

We gathered everyone together and did a few examples together and they wrote down an example solution for them to follow.

We also had a look at some different nets and how they come together to make prisms and pyramids.

Hopefully we can remember and use our example next week when we do more of these questions.
