*** After grading the Binder Quiz on Friday, a goodly number of you stated you were still feeling unsure about surface area. If you are one of those students, please go to my portaportal at: htttp://guest.portaportal.com/kfanning. Go to the Class Launcher and try the activities listed there. These should help clear up some of your questions.
A/B/C/E Groups: Bring in a cylinder and/or a snack-filled cylinder for Monday.
D Group: Write the definitions for the terms "base(s) [geometric]", and "cylinder" in the Vocab section of your binder. [def, 2 facts, 2 ex., sent.]
Have a great weekend!
