8th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with the problem of the day. We then continued our discussion of surface area of rectangular prisms, did a few practice problems of solving for the surface area of rectangular prisms, before Mr. Olsen brought students around to solving for the surface area of a triangular prism. Mr. Olsen ended class by introducing the formula for solving a surface area problem for a cylinder.

7th Grade Math: Today in math students began class with their flashmasters, before we transitioned into solving for the volume of a rectangular prism. After some teacher led instruction and several example problems, students were handed a worksheet (12.5) to practice their new found skills.
Assignments: Review HW #17 is due Wednesday. Complete the 12.5 worksheet if they did not finish in the time provided.
