Students investigate possible surface areas given a fixed volume of a prism.
As learning progresses they consider how to extend the surface area to infinity by considering non-integer lengths.
Differentiated Learning Objectives
- All students should be able to calculate a total surface area when given a cuboid’s volume.
- Most students should be able to calculate multiple total surface area when given a fixed volume.
- Some students should be able to calculate the multiple total surface areas when given a fixed volume of a compound prism.
