Geometry #4: Circles

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]CirclesCircles are figures with no line segments and no vertices, which makes them pretty unique. We’re explore radius, diameter, circumference and area and the relationship between each of these so it’s easy for you to calculate the things you need accurately.Every time you drill a hole, bounce a ball, ride a […]

Geometry #5: Surface Area

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]3D Figures, Surface Area and NetsImagine painting a solid object, like a rock or a cube. You need enough paint to coat the outside surface, right? That’s surface area! The surface area of a 3-dimensional (3D) shape is the total number of units, like centimeters (cm2) or inches (in2),  needed to

Geometry #6: Volume

[am4show have=’p156;p157′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]VolumeWhat is volume and how do we use it? Volume is how much 3D space a shape takes up. We first calculate the area of one of the sides, and then extend this calculation to include the length of the object through multiplication. Volume is absolutely everywhere – every time you fill a

Statistics (Grades 7-8th)

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]There are over 40 videos on this page, so please take your time when working through the content. Most students will cover all of the content in 4-8 weeks. Probability deals with figuring out how likely an event will happen in the future, based on mathematical models that we create that make

Probability (Grades 7-8th)

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Probability is when we take our best guess at how likely something is to happen (or not happen) by comparing the ratios and using our math skills. Probability is expressed either as a percent (from 0% – 100%) or as a decimal number (from 0 to 1). There are over 40

Geometry Session #1

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]Shapes & Constructions Welcome to our new unit on Geometry! In this session, we’re going to discover the point, the line and the plane, and then use our geometry tools to construct shapes, inscribe objects, and explore how geometric figures are built.During our Geometry study unit, we will have special building projects

[am4show have=’p156;p158′ guest_error=’guest_error_msg’ user_error=’user_error_msg’ ]All About AnglesWelcome to our session in angles! We get angles when we have intersections of lines and planes, and knowing how to handle them is going to be important because they show up everywhere in geometry. Students will work through a new workbook in addition to having a new in-depth

We get triangles when we have a shape with three sides and three angles. We notice triangles in the roof on homes, when we stack things in a pyramid, for cars on a truss bridge, the shape of sails
