Lesson 8: Surface area and Nets
Duration of Days: 3
Lesson Objective
- Students will be able to find the surface area of a rectangular prism using a net and identify a net by using a rectangular prism as an example.
How can we calculate the surface area of a three-dimensional shape?
How are two-dimensional nets used to visualize and calculate the surface area of three-dimensional figures like prisms and pyramids?
