Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

Explore cross sections of different geometric solids: cone, double cone, cylinder, pyramid, and prism. Manipulate the cross section with slider bars, and see how the graphical representation changes.

In this task, students investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...
