Homework for Monday, March 24
The homework for today was given out in class. Below is the sheet in case you lost it.
First, find the VOLUME of all of the rectangular prisms
Volume = Length * Width * Height
Second, Find the SURFACE AREA of the same prisms in #1 - #8 from this sheet. Write the surface areas on the back of the sheet.
Surface area = 2 (LW + LH + HW)
We will review another method for surface area tomorrow. Show your work and calculations for each of your answers.

2.) diameter = 15 cm
3.) radius = 8 cm
4.) radius = 10 cm
Solve the following word problems.
5.) Aracely is practicing for her track meet. The track is in the shape of a circle and it measures 100meters across from one end to the other through the center. If she runs 4 laps around, about how many meters will she run total? Use 3.14 for pi.
6.) Juan is making a giant pizza with a pretzel crust. He rolls the pretzel and it measures 78.5 inches long. If he is using a pizza pan to bake it, how wide of a pan will he need? Use 3.14 for pi

Homework for Thursday and Special Activity
The homework for Thursday, March 13 was passed out in class today. You are to finish your sheets on the areas of triangles and polygons.
SPECIAL ASSIGNMENT!
For all of us math nerds, tomorrow is a special day. We call it "Pi Day." In honor of this great mathematical day, I am giving you a special assignment. Spread the word to your fellow students!
For each 6th grade class, the student the memorizes the MOST digits for Pi will have the privilege to throw an actual pie in my face. We will do this sometime tomorrow before the end of the day.
Here is a link to the numbers, or you can scroll below or look up videos on YouTube. GOOD LUCK!
And for a nerdy joke, here is a classic from The Simpsons
