Middle School Mathematics, Stafford, Mar 31 – April 04
Hello and welcome back from spring break! Here’s information on my classes this week.
Geometry:
This week in Geometry we are studying volume and discovering the formulas for prisms, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Furthermore, we investigate displacement and density of solids. I will continue to give the students practice on a variety of concepts including exponents, radicals and coordinate geometry.

Hello, and welcome to our second week of CSAP and the week prior to spring break.
Geometry:
This week in Geometry I will assess the students over concepts relating to the Pythagorean Theorem. Next we will study volume, discover formulas for finding the volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, cones and spheres. The surface of spheres will be introduced as well as density concepts.
