Abstract
To solidify computation of volume and surface area of rectangular prisms and cylinders using a technology tool, and comparing volumes and surface areas between objects. Students will be able to… • setup an Excel spreadsheet for the calculation of volume and surface area of any two rectangular prisms and any two cylinders, • check their setup to assure accuracy of their model, • compare volume between rectangular prisms of different dimensions, • compare surface area between rectangular prisms of similar volume, • generalize minimizing surface area of a rectangular prism, • compare volume between cylinders of different dimensions, • compare surface area between cylinders of similar volume, • compare volume between rectangular prisms and cylinders of similar dimensions
