Week 1

As we complete our exploration of two-dimensional Geometry, we begin the shift into three-dimensional solids.  Geometric solids have an infinite number of forms; concentrating on polyhedras, cylinders, cones, and spheres.

Our initial investigation will be on geometric solids.
 
Please go to  Solid Figure Topics Summary Page, here explore the concepts of

Solid Figures Surface Area Volume Solid Figure Terms Then visit GeometryWeb Wiki and discuss the ways to calculate volume and surface area of solids.

Now visit the Illuminations Solid Geometry Page, here complete

Lesson 1 – Getting to Know the Solids Lesson 2 – Study the Solids Lesson 3 – Looking for Patterns At the GeometryWeb Wiki respond to the properties of solids.

For you last investigation visit the Learner Geometry Page, here complete

3D Shapes Surface Area & Volume Euler’s Theorem Platonic Solids If you have found additional information on how to calculate volume and surface area you can update your posting at GeometryWeb Wiki

With you investigation of this topic complete, please prepare yourself for following section on Exploration.  This section will be activated on the following Monday.  If you have any questions or have difficult with the links please contact your instructor at jvrtis@lths.net.
