General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry: Geometric Measurement & Dimension
Cluster: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Cluster: Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems. (Geometry - Additional Cluster) -

Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.

Lesson Plan
  • Exploring Cavalieri's Principle # Students will explore Cavalieri's Principle using technology. Students will calculate the volume of oblique solids and determine if Cavalieri's Principle applies. Students will also perform transformations of a base figure in a 3-dimensional coordinate system to observe the creation of right and oblique solid figures. After these observations, students will create a conjecture about calculating the volume of the oblique solids. Students will use the conjecture to determine situations in which Cavalieri's Principle applies and then calculate the volume of various oblique solids.
