Solve one-step, real-world measurement problems involving area, volume or surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects.
Clarifications:

Essential Understandings

Concrete:

  • Use square tiles to cover a figure.
  • Count the number of tiles to determine the area.
  • Demonstrate an understanding of the concept of the surface area of a figure.
  • Unfold three-dimensional objects into flat nets where all faces are visible.
  • Recognize that surface area is found by adding up the individual areas of each face.
  • Match or select the appropriate formula for area, volume, or surface area.
  • Use base ten blocks to determine the volume of a figure.
  • Understand two- and three-dimensional dimensionality (two-dimensional is space covered, three-dimensional is the space within).
Representation:
  • Use formulas to find area, surface area, or volume.
  • Understand symbols from a formula.
  • Understand the following concepts and vocabulary: area, base, height, slant, volume, units of measure, surface area, prism, net, face, quadrilateral.
  • Use appropriate tools to calculate, as needed.
General Information
Number: MAFS.7.G.2.AP.6b
Category: Access Points
Date Adopted or Revised: 06/14
Cluster: Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and volume. (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.
