Unit Four
Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids
This unit builds upon the understanding of the properties of three-dimensional figures that students developed in previous grade levels. Students will compare and contrast the characteristics of rectangular prisms, non rectangular prisms, and pyramids. They relate three-dimensional figures and two-dimensional figures by drawing nets and building solid figures from those nets. Students use what they learned about area in Unit 2 to calculate the surface area of prisms and pyramids.
