Pyramids and Volume ppt description
Explore how to find volume of real world pyramids. This lesson satisfies the some of the requirements for common core G.GMD.3. It is well suited for the intermediate (middle) school students. A prerequisite for this lesson is that students know how to use Pythagorean Theorem. Slide #2 is the vocabulary slide, be sure to look at the PowerPoint notes because it contains the concepts that are to be stress with each slide. Slides #3-4, shows how to draw a pyramid. Slides #5-6, models how to find volume of a pyramid. Slides #7-17, has five real world pyramids. The first slide of each shows dimensions needed to solve each volume problem. The second slide illustrates the problem. This is intended as guide practice for the students. There are five examples to pick from; keep the examples you want and delete the others or let student work at their own pace. Slides #18 and 19 are exit questions slides. There is a companion slide show with this for surface area of pyramids; I would use them together.
Note: My philosophy for slide shows. I use slide shows to model a concept. Because I teach the same lesson multiply times there are certain things I like to stress. If it is on a slide I don’t forget it. I like to use animations to hold the students attention. I normally will have a vocabulary slide for students to copy into their notebook. Hence the “white note taking icon” on the vocabulary slides. I generally will have two avatars in the bottom of the slide to guide the students through the slides. The avatars will ask questions to one another or corny jokes that students don’t understand. My students enjoy reading what is on the callouts of the avatars this allows for more interaction within the classroom. At the end of my slide show I like to have exit questions or a summary slide. If you purchase this please adapt it to your classroom. Last slide as my e-mail address, if you find errors regardless how small please e-mail me and inform me so I can make corrections.

Used with my students and found this very helpful. Students enjoyed.
I used this during ESY and my students liked the graphics and were able to understand the concepts better.
Awesome resource. Engaged students, as they can work at their own pace.
Thank you
Love it! The Simpson characters are so fun!
Same here :) Thank you !
thxxx
Super
I work in a virtual setting with struggling math students - I am always looking for connections to make math real for struggling students! THANK YOU! I will let you know how it goes!
This is tough concept, good luck.
This looks great! Thank you!
Kids loves flash cards.
I really like this power point. I am going to introduce volume with pyramids using this lesson. I know my students will enjoy these real life applications I did since I been to 2/5 places.
I tried opening it on my mac and the numbers got a mixed up. Is this best on a pc?
Sorry I don't work with macs. Is there a way to convert to keynotes?
