LEARNER OUTCOME(S) ASSESSMENT TOOLS/METHODS

 Students will be able to use volume formulas for cylinders,  Students will be completing a worksheet either individually or
pyramids, cones, and spheres to solve problems. by working together.
 Students will be working together on a Jeopardy Game.

LEARNER PRIOR KNOWLEDGE

 Students should have already completed the lesson for G.3.5 Finding Perimeter and Area of Polygons and be able to apply formulas
for area of triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons.
 Students should be able to read the centimeter side of a ruler and round to the nearest half of a centimeter.
 This is an extension of lesson G.4.4. Real World Application to Area, Volume, and Surface Area of Two and Three Dimensional
Shapes. Completing that lesson first or along with this lesson will be helpful for calculating volume.

DIFFERENTIATION

 The tutorial videos are giving your students the visualization they will need in order to calculate volume of prisms, cylinders,
pyramids, cones, and spheres.
 The worksheet is allowing your students to solve these problems using the formulas from the videos that correlate with their formula
sheets from the GED testing service website.
 The calculator will allow your students to do basic mathematical computations.
 You may allow your students to work together to solve the problems.
 The Jeopardy game is a fun way to teach and work together on Real-World application.
