Grade 7 
Mathematics 
Measurement  
and  
Geometry 
Standard 2
Students compute the perimeter, area and volume
of common geometric objects and use these to find
measures of less common objects; they know
how perimeter, area, and volume are
affected under changes of scale.

1.) Students will find the volume and surface area of regular prisms, combine two or more prisms to construct a new irregular shape, and determine the new volumes and surface areas. 
2.) Students will solve problems such as the following: Circular shaped pizzas come in diameters of 8 inches, 12 inches, and 16 inches. Determine the area of each pizza and compare the area to the respective costs of $10, $12 and $16. 
1.) Students will explain how the area and perimeter of a rectangle change as the diagonal is doubled and tripled. 
2.) Students will write and use a formula to determine the volume of this shape. 
3.) Students will write and use a formula to determine the surface area of this shape. 
4.) Students will determine the volume and surface area of a figure where each edge of each cube is 3 cm. 
5.) Students will write three formulas that may be used to find the areas of the 3 parts in a shape, then they will combine the 3 formulas into one formula and solve for the total area if x = 3.
