Monday:
Practice finding the surface area of pyramids and cones for one more night! Quiz tomorrow. Do p. 580, problems 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 13, and 17. Also, complete any corrections you still need to do for the 11-4 Quiz or the Chapter 10 test.

Tuesday:
Bring in a pie for tomorrow’s Pi Day! Extra participation points will be awarded, and the whole class will be grateful. Yum!!

Wednesday:

Thursday:
P. 586, problems 3-10, 12, and 14. Also, complete your 11-5 quiz corrections.
**Blogger’s bonus: Problem 9 is tough! One way to do the problem is to convert all the model measurements into meters (to get .6 m, .42 m, and 3.5 m). Then use the cubed version of the scale factor because you are looking for volume. The other is to find out how big each side of the real building is (1 cm = 1.5 m) and multiply length times width times height. Either way the answer is the same. Good luck. We will go over this problem first thing tomorrow!

Friday:
Remember that Monday is the next deadline for your WebQuest project. Be ready to tell me what familiar object you are using for comparison to your structure and the computations you did to figure out how many of your object fit into one of the dimensions of your structure. Also, bring all your dimensions with you to class on Monday so that you can use class time to do the scaling for your model. If you have already figured out your scale, bring in your computations on a piece of paper to show me.
