Chapter 8.5 VOLUME of a Pyramid in the Geometry Standard

Good Evening Girls and Boys,

Today we are building on with the last lesson on 

VOLUME of Prisms and exploring

 VOLUME of PYRAMIDS! 

 Volume is the same: 3-D or 3 dimensions - L W H but now we are working on pyramids.  And if you recall, in the 6th grade you studies these structures a great deal. 

 We will find out the capacity or how much it holds by using our Volume formula ( Shortcut) for Pyramids :

 V=1/3 LWH ! 

This formula looks fairly bazar, but we will look at this closely in class.  Make sure you write down the formula for 

volume in your graphic organizers!

Here's Little Penellope in her EASTER  DRESS!  She is a sweetie!

Homework: Read the blog, take notes in your graphic organizer, complete your vocabulary and post in Portfolio for Chapter 8: 
VOLUME of PYRAMIDS!
