Math Message If you were to wrap this box as a gift, how would you calculate the least amount of wrapping paper needed? Study Link 6 Follow-Up Briefly review the answers. Ask: How would you explain the difference between capacity and volume? Volume is the measure of how much space a solid object occupies. Capacity is the measure of how much a container can hold. Teaching the Lesson Math Message Follow-Up (Math Journal 2, p. 389) WHOLE-CLASS Ask volunteers to use geometry vocabulary to describe the box. The box is a rectangular prism that has six rectangular faces. Then have students explain their solution strategies. If wrapping paper covers each face of the box exactly, the least amount of wrapping paper needed is the sum of the area of each of the six faces. Tell students that the sum of the areas of the faces or the curved surface of a geometric solid is called surface area. If wrapping paper covers each face of the box exactly, the area of paper required is the surface area of the box. If the area of the available wrapping paper is less than the surface area of the box, the paper will not completely cover the box. Ask a pair of students to measure the length, width, and height of the box to the nearest inch. Have students record these dimensions on the figure in Problem on journal page 389, find and record the areas of the six sides of the box, and add these to find the total surface area. Remind students that opposite sides (top and bottom, left and right, front and back) of the box have the same area. This means that students need to calculate only three different areas. Finding the Surface Area of a Can (Math Journal 2, p. 389) PARTNER PROBLEM SOLVING Algebraic Thinking Distribute one can to each partnership. Ask students to imagine that the top lids of their cans have not been removed. Ask: How would you find the surface area of your can? 7 Surface Area The surface area of a box is the sum of the areas of all 6 sides (faces) of the box..

Give students plenty of time to explore solution strategies among themselves, without your help. Add the areas of the top, bottom, and curved surface to find the total surface area. Ask a volunteer to explain how to find the area of the circular top and bottom. Use the formula A = π r 2. Ask another volunteer to explain how to find the area of the curved surface between the top and bottom of the can. Calculate the circumference of the base using the formula c = π d, and then multiply the circumference by the height of the can. If students are unable to suggest an approach for finding this area, remind or show them that the label on a food can is shaped like a rectangle if it is cut off and unrolled. Draw a rectangle on the board: If you cut a can label in a straight line perpendicular to the bottom, it will have a rectangular shape when it is unrolled and flattened. How would you measure the can to find the length of the base of the rectangle? Guide students to recognize the following two possibilities:. Measure the circumference of the base of the can with a tape measure. 2. Measure the diameter of the base of the can. Calculate the circumference of the base, using the formula c = π d. How would you find the other dimension (the width) of the rectangle? Measure the height of the can. Have partners measure the dimensions of their cans and complete Part 2 on journal page 389. Circulate and assist. Ongoing Assessment: Informing Instruction Watch for students who seem to have difficulty with visualizing the cutting and unrolling of the can label. Have them use the following procedure to cut a sheet of paper to use as a label for the side of the can:. Mark the top and bottom rims of the can at the can s seam. 2. Lay the can on the sheet of paper with the marks touching the paper. Mark these points on the paper. 3. Roll the can one complete revolution, until the marks touch the paper again. Mark these points on the paper. 4. Connect the four marks on the paper to form a rectangle. Cut out the rectangle.
