Surface Area Exploration


§Your little sister loves mandarin oranges and has asked
   that you get her a can of them for her birthday.  You want
   to wrap the can without wasting any paper.  Create a plan
   to find exactly how much paper you need to wrap your
   sisters present. 

Students engaged in this challenge task and problem solved how to find the surface area of a cylinder. 

§The easiest way to find the surface area of a solid with 2
   bases is to approach it like a composite figure.  Find the
   area of the pieces and add them together.
 
Starting tomorrow the blog will have some new contributors. 
Joy, Esmeralda, and Mark have volunteered to help me with the Blog.   

Homework: 4 questions due tomorrow.
