Appendix on implementing district standards
This unit will be focused on how to solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, surface area, and volume. The district #299 of the Chicago Public Schools follow the Common Core State Standards when composing and implementing curriculum.
One of the main goals of this unit is the composition of rectangles into square units.
- MATH.CONTENT.6.G.A.1 Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in solving real-world and mathematical problems. The unit will focus on the volume of rectangular prisms and how students will use measuring tools in the form of unit squares, unit cubes and formulas.
- MATH.CONTENT.6.G.A.2 Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in solving real-world and mathematical problems. Student’s use of nets into rectangular prisms is aimed at addressing the real-world applications of engineers and building structures.
- MATH.CONTENT.6.G.A.4 Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in solving real-world and mathematical problems.
