Why would we need to find it in the real world? How many surfaces does each 3D shape have?  Who invented shapes anyway?  Is geometry even real? Take a shot at answering any of these, asking your own, or responding to your wonderful classmates.  Feel free to add links, pictures, or any other resource that will support your comment in regards to surface area.  Toodaloo...]]> 2020-04-27 02:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/532210966 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533390614 what does math stand for]]> 2020-04-27 13:09:21 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533390614 shaughnessyc https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533433635 when will we need to know how to find a circumfrince of a circle]]> 2020-04-27 13:23:13 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533433635 flahertym2 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533445812 why is math so important?]]> 2020-04-27 13:26:58 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533445812 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533487073 math is important because we use it in the real world]]> 2020-04-27 13:40:27 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533487073 reynoldsj64 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533599492 If we use math in the real world, do we use the real world in math?

You can also always draw a picture of the net, cut it out, and then fold it. Those are only two ways to find the actual shape of the nets, but I hope they help!]]> 2020-04-27 14:57:41 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533752183 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533755643 They have different number of sides for each prism for example a rectangular prism has 6 sides and a triangular  prism and a pyramid  has 5 side.  ]]> 2020-04-27 14:58:42 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533755643 strube https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533816762 Euclid (c. 325-265 BC), of Alexandria, probably a student at the Academy founded by Plato, wrote a treatise in 13 books (chapters), titled The Elements of Geometry, in which he presented geometry in an ideal axiomatic form, which came to be known as Euclidean geometry.         Info directly from,  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_geometry    ]]> 2020-04-27 15:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533816762 shanksj1 https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533949806 There are many steps to include and you have to be very precise calculations in order to get the correct answer. ]]> 2020-04-27 15:55:51 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/533949806 budrewicza https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/534027709 I know that teachers are always saying that we'll use the things we learn every day, but will every single thing we learn really be important in our daily lives? ]]> 2020-04-27 16:20:00 UTC https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/534027709 gollowj https://padlet.com/piechowskia/exr283yh6whymagt/wish/534031204 We dug up 17 stumps and now we have to put in top soil and grass seeds.

In that scenario what would happen if you got wheels that were rectangular? You wouldn't be able to drive your car! But, at the same time, you wonder if ANYTHING in the world is real, or is it all just a figment of our imaginations? Think about it! Your brain will most likely start to hurt if you do it too much!
