Sixth
Grade Academy School students in Mrs. Agemak’s math classes have been working
on area and perimeter.
Recently
they were exploring surface area by measuring boxes as a group. They had to
measure it as a 3D shape and then cut it apart to form the shape's net (2D
drawing of a 3D shape). Once they had the net made, they had to
figure out the area of all the shapes combined and it should have been the same
as the shape's surface area.
This
activity was done to practice finding the area, surface area and
decomposing/composing shapes. The kids loved it and they all did a great
job working together and problem solving!
