<p> DOG HOUSE AND RUN</p><p>Enduring Understanding: Develop a better understanding of how to find the surface area of a figure and use that area appropriately within the context of a situation. Develop a better understanding of how to convert units of measure within the US system. Develop a better understanding of how the change in a linear dimension will affect the volume of a figure.</p><p>Essential Questions:</p><p> How does the change in one linear dimension affect the volume?  How are units of measure converted within the US system?  What properties of special triangles such as equilateral, isosceles and right triangles assist in determining solutions to problems?  How can a conclusion be supported using mathematical information and calculations?</p><p>Lesson Overview:</p><p> Before allowing the students the opportunity to start the activity: access their prior knowledge regarding how to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Allow for collaborative time for the students, possibly activities around the room, discuss with the students.  With the first essential question, while students may think they are finding the surface area of the dog house, they need to include the door in the cost because you are required to buy a full sheet of plywood. Therefore, a person would then cut out the door and have extra wood left over. Good real-life dilemma for classroom discussion.  A good warm-up for this activity is Geometry Gift.  What are the relationships that exist among the units of measure for linear dimensions, area and volume?  What would happen if one linear dimension of a rectangular prism is changed?  How is a problem situation decoded so that a person understands what is being asked?  What mathematical information should be used to support a particular conclusion?  How will the students make their thinking visible?  Use resources from your building.</p><p>EALRs/GLEs:</p><p>1.2.1 1.2.3 1.2.5 2.2.2 4.2.2</p><p>Item Specifications: ME01; ME02; ME03; SR02; CU02</p><p>Assessment: </p><p> Use WASL format items that link to what is being covered by the classroom activity  Include Multiple Choice items Dog House and Run</p><p>You will need to determine the amount of materials needed to construct a dog house and a dog run according to the measurements given.

You work for a paving company that recently did some paving work at a school. You now need to give the school a bill for paving the playground and putting a concrete border around its perimeter. A scale drawing of the playground is shown below.</p><p>The cost (labor and materials) for the pavement is $54 per square yard.</p><p>The cost (labor and materials) for the concrete border is $18 per linear foot.</p><p>What was the cost for paving the playground and putting a concrete border around its perimeter?</p><p>______Support your answer using words, numbers and/or diagrams. 3.
