    Surface Area of Right Prisms: Grade 7 Unit 7 Lesson 14

    Uploaded by

    api-508324510
    This document discusses different strategies for calculating the surface area of right prisms. It begins by defining a right prism and asking students to create a net and think of ways to find the surface area from the net. It then presents three strategies: 1) adding the area of each face, 2) considering copies of identical faces, and 3) using the perimeter of the base and height. Students try applying these strategies to different prisms and determine which strategies work for all prisms and three-dimensional shapes. The document emphasizes engaging students in developing their own problem-solving approaches.
