Volume of Triangular Prisms

In today's math lesson, we learned that the volume of triangular prism is half the volume of a rectangular prism. Students used two formulas to calculate volume of a triangular prism. First they calculated area of the triangular face using Base Area = (b x h) ÷ 2 , then they found volume using V = Base Area x Height (of the prism). There were many steps to today's practice work and students discovered that they had to work methodically to be successful. Students are asked to complete practice questions on p. 364 - 365  of the MMS textbook.

During inquiry time, students continued working on improving their slideshows converting their survey results into a graph, planning and working on their display boards, and practicing their French component. One group has begun working on their action component.
