This mathematic unit focuses upon surface area & volume of geometric solids, with review of how to apply scale when drawing/sketching objects. Students also learn how to measure the heights of structures, using simple calculations & distance measurements, when other conventional measuring devices prove useless. The unit wraps up by measuring, drawing, and calculating the surface area & volume of a sculpture at a local sculpture park.
