Solids around Us

Solids around Us

Mathematics is The Queen of Science. Geometry is one of its units. In this webquest You will discover how useful geometry can be.

Remember! Mathematics is not your enemy.

You will see examples of the existence of solids in our life, especially in architecture and articles of everyday use. You will have to do some tasks with volumes, areas of solids.

Task 1. Match into pairs solids with names.

Task 2. You will see some buildings that associated with solids. Try to connect building and place.

Task 3. Split into 4 groups. In order to recall formulas of volumes and areas solve press button Exc 1. You have 20 minutes for this task.

Task 4. The word ”box" is usually associated with an ordinary, rectangular, rectangular shape. However, it is enough to take a closer look at the shop shelves and see the richness of polyhedrons and other shapes presented in the packaging of the products we use on a daily basis. Can you give the full mathematical names of all the figures in our packaging gallery?

Homework

Task 5. It is a Christmas time. You bought the presents for family and friends. You have 4 kind of boxes: cube with 30 cm of edge, cylinder of radius 20 cm and height 30 cm, cuboid 8 cm x 10 cm x 20 cm, and cone with radius 15 cm and height 20 cm.

Is it possible to cover each of these boxes with sheet of decorating paper 50 cm x 100 cm? Give an answer and show calculations.

Task 6. Take the pictures of different things at your home which are prism or pyramid. Prepare presantation or poster to the next classes.
