8.9: Geometry: Three - Dimensional Models

3D and Orthographic Views Arrange blocks in a three-dimensional space so that the top view, front view, and side view match the target top view, front view, and side view.
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Surface and Lateral Areas of Prisms and Cylinders Vary the dimensions of a prism or cylinder and investigate how the surface area changes. Use the dynamic net of the solid to compute the lateral area and the surface area of the solid.

8.7: Measurement: Volume and Surface Area of 3D solids

Prisms and Cylinders Vary the height and base-edge or radius length of a prism or cylinder and examine how its three-dimensional representation changes. Determine the area of the base and the volume of the solid. Compare the volume of an oblique prism or cylinder to the volume of a right prism or cylinder.

8.11: Geometry: Area and Perimeter

Area of Parallelograms Examine and manipulate a parallelogram and find its area. Explore the relationship between the area of a parallelogram and the area of a rectangle using an animation.
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Perimeter and Area of Rectangles Discover how to find the perimeter and area of a rectangle, and of a square (which is really just a special case of a rectangle).
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Area of Triangles Use a dynamic triangle to explore the area of a triangle. With the help of an animation, see that any triangle is always half of a parallelogram (with the same base and height). Likewise, a similar animation shows the connection between parallelograms and rectangles.

Circumference and Area of Circles Resize a circle and compare its radius, circumference, and area.
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Measuring Trees Measure the height, diameter, and circumference of trees in a forest. Count growth rings to determine the age of each tree. Grow the trees for several years and investigate how growth is affected by precipitation.

8.1: Interchanging Fractions, Decimals, and Percents

Fraction, Decimal, Percent (Area and Grid Models) Model and compare fractions, decimals, and percents using area models. Each area model can have 10 or 100 sections and can be set to display a fraction, decimal, or percent. Click inside the area models to shade them. Compare the numbers visually or on a number line.
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Percents, Fractions, and Decimals Compare a quantity represented by an area with its percent, fraction, and decimal forms.
  5 Minute Preview   Lesson Info
Ordering Percents, Fractions, and Decimals Greater Than 1 Compare and order numbers greater than 1 using area grids and a number line. Examine the numbers represented as percents, improper fractions, and decimals.

8.12: Probability & Statistics: Probability of Ind./Depend. Events

Independent and Dependent Events Compare the theoretical and experimental probabilities of drawing colored marbles from a bag. Record results of successive draws to find the experimental probability. Perform the drawings with replacement of the marbles to study independent events, or without replacement to explore dependent events.

Spin the Big Wheel! (Probability) Step right up! Spin the big wheel! Each spin can result in no prize, a small prize, or a big prize. The wheel can be spun by 1, 10, or 100 players. Results are recorded on a frequency table or a circle graph. You can also design your own wheel and a sign that describes the probabilities for your wheel.
