Essential Question: How do I apply my knowledge of 

formulas to find the volume of a rectangular prism and 

apply it a tall building in China?

Vocabulary: volume, rectangular prism

Skills: Applying volume formulas

Homework: find the volume of these rectangular prisms
L: 30in W: 122 in  H: 25 in 
L: 142 m  W 25 m  H: 129 m 

MCC6.G.4
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 the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

8th Grade 3/7

Essential Question: How do I find slope, grpah linear equations and write equations in y=mb+b form?

Vocabulary: slope, y-intercept, slope intercept form, linear, non-linear

Skills: algebraic equations, solving for "y"

Homework:

MCC8.EE.5
Graph proportional relationships, interpreting the unit rate as the slope of the graph. Compare two different proportional relationships represented in different ways.
MCC8.EE.6
Use similar triangles to explain why the slope m is the same between any two distinct points on a non-vertical line in the coordinate plane; derive the equation y = mx for a line through the origin and the equation y = mx + b for a line intercepting the vertical axis at b.
MCC8.F.3
Interpret the equation y = mx + b as defining a linear function, whose graph is a straight line; give examples of functions that are not linear.
