They will use their content knowledge of triangle congruence theorems, area, volume, and perimeter to solve calculations in respect to The Great Pyramid of Giza]]> 2022-10-13 11:15:06 UTC https://padlet.com/russwright/yjsxwklgiknjdf4b/wish/2338571066 Obvectives russwright https://padlet.com/russwright/yjsxwklgiknjdf4b/wish/2338578246 Given the pyramid, the student will create a Google Slideshow showing all calculations of the pyramid. These include, but are not limited to: perimeter, area, laterals, and volume 
Bloom’s level - Comprehension

Given the calculations, students will justify, support, and conclude their findings by demonstrating formulas and theorems applied during the problem solving.
Bloom's level - Evaluate

Student will be responsible for bringing materials to class, including, but not limited to: geometry book, Google Chromebook, ruler, protractor, compass, paper, and pencil. 

Student will be responsible for presenting all calculations in an organized order (Google Slides) with all work for said calculations showing, in order for the student to justify their work. ]]> 2022-10-13 16:39:45 UTC https://padlet.com/russwright/yjsxwklgiknjdf4b/wish/2339105629 Student Procedures russwright https://padlet.com/russwright/yjsxwklgiknjdf4b/wish/2339117525 1)Students will observe scale drawing of the Great Pyramid of Giza. They will be given a few measurements to get them started. 
2) Students will then begin to calculate area, perimeter of sides, surface area, volume, and weight of the pyramid. (Note: it will be up to the student on how much they calculate, they are permitted to calculate extra things, such as how much per brick, etc.)
3) Students will then organize their findings into a Google Slideshow for presentation. They will also have to submit any paperwork they have, in order to prove they did the work on paper and pencil as well. Organization includes all theorems and formulas used , not just their work. If a theorem is used, they will be responsible for justifying use.
4) Students need to make the presentation as presentable as possible. The idea is for them to be excited about there findings, not just presenting a black and white slideshow. This slideshow will be shared with me. ]]> 2022-10-13 16:47:21 UTC https://padlet.com/russwright/yjsxwklgiknjdf4b/wish/2339117525
