Learning goals: Learning Goals • Determine the volume of right rectangular prisms and right triangular prisms. (Lesson 10) • Calculate the volume of a prism with a complicated base using a variety of strategies, including decomposing into more familiar shapes or surrounding and subtracting. (Lesson 11) • Calculate the surface area of a prism. (Lesson 12) • Explain whether to calculate the surface area or volume of a prism to solve a problem in a real-world situation. (Lesson 13) • Apply surface area and volume to answer questions about a real-world situation. (Lesson 13)
