Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Use a net and the Pythagorean theorem to find a shortest surface path

  • Find the surface area of a structure built from unit cubes

  • Use similar triangles to find a fraction of an area

Teaching tips

  • Each worksheet stands alone, so the four problems can be spread across separate lessons.

Skills covered

  • Pattern proof — finding and proving remainders for sums of cubes divided by a number

  • Geometric reasoning — unfolding 3D solids and comparing similar triangles
