Unit Overview - Tewksbury Township Schools



|Unit Overview |

|Content Area: Math |

|Unit Title: Volume and Surface Area Unit: 8 |

|Target Course/Grade Level: Seventh Grade Timeline: 3 weeks |

|Unit Summary: Students explore the concepts of surface area and volume of three-dimensional shapes including prisms, cylinders, pyramids, and |

|cones. They will discover relationships between the volumes of prisms and pyramids and cylinders and cones to justify and apply surface area |

|and volume formulas. Students will also use the formulas to find volume and surface areas of three-dimensional composite shapes. Students will |

|build on these concepts as they work with similar solids. |
