Topic Review: Geometry

Introduction

We've just finished the chapter on Geometry. Let's do a review to ensure we have mastered each topic.

Geometry

In this chapter we covered the following topics:

  •  Area of triangles 
  •  Problem solving with triangles 
  •  Area of special quadrilaterals 
  •  Area of composite shapes 
  •  Nets of solids 
  •  Surface area with nets 
  •  Volume of rectangular prisms 
  •  Problem solving with volume and surface area 

Outcomes

6.G.A.1

Find area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

6.G.A.2

Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas v = lwh and = bhv to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.

6.G.A.4

Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
