Compute the Surface Area of Prisms

TEKS Math: 7.9.D

(D) Solve problems involving the lateral and total surface area of a rectangular prism, rectangular pyramid, triangular prism, and triangular pyramid by determining the area of the shape's net.

AU Math: ACMMG218

(Y9) Solve problems involving the surface area and volume of right prisms (ACMMG218)

ACMEM095

(Y11-12) Find the surface area of familiar solids, including cubes, rectangular and triangular prisms, spheres and cylinders (ACMEM095)

CCSS Math: 6.G.4

6.G.4 Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

This math lesson teaches students how to calculate the surface area of a prism. The lesson includes research-based strategies and strategic questions that prepare students for standardized assessments. In this lesson, students will identify the bases and sides of a prism, calculate their separate areas and sum the separate areas to find the surface area. In addition to the lesson, there are two pages of independent practice and three pages of periodic review with questions modeled after standardized assessments.
