In this six-week course, learners will acquire a range of skills and knowledge related to three-dimensional figures and their defining attributes. One of the key objectives is the ability to identify and classify three-dimensional figures into specific categories, such as right pyramids, right prisms, right circular cylinders, right circular cones, and spheres. By understanding the defining attributes of each figure, learners will be able to differentiate between them and categorize them accordingly.

Another focus of the course is on the calculation of perimeter and area of rectangles with fractional or decimal side lengths. Visual models and formulas will be used to help learners understand and apply these concepts effectively. By utilizing these tools, learners will be able to accurately determine the length of the outer boundary of a rectangle as well as the amount of space it occupies.

Volume, as an attribute of three-dimensional figures, will also be explored in this course. Learners will be introduced to the concept of packing unit cubes without any gaps to determine the volume of various three-dimensional figures. The course will specifically emphasize the calculation of volume for right rectangular prisms with whole-number side lengths. By counting the number of unit cubes required to fill the prism, learners will be able to determine its volume accurately.

Furthermore, learners will be introduced to solving problems related to volume, including those that involve an unknown edge length or whole-number edge lengths. Visual models or formulas will be employed to assist learners in finding the volume of three-dimensional figures. To represent these problems, learners will be taught how to write equations with variables for the unknowns, enabling them to systematically solve the problems at hand.
