Unit 6

Unit Overview

In the first part of this unit (6A) students represent three-dimensional figures using isometric grid paper. Students identify the relationships between points, lines, and planes in three dimensions and measure dihedral angles. A three-dimensional coordinate system is developed and applied. Equations and graphs of lines and planes in three dimensions are studied. An optional enrichment section is included on perspective drawings.

In the second part of this unit (6B), the emphasis is on the development and applications of the formulas for the surface area and volume of prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, spheres, and composite solids. The basic formulas for these solids were taught in middle school.
