Math Reminders

Base- LxW (Length x Width) (2D shape)

- When you find a shapes base you label
the answer as units ^2 (squared)
Volume- LxWxH (Length x Width x Height) (3D
shape)
Think of how many blocks can go inside a box.
- When you find a shapes volume, label the
answer as units ^3 (cubed)
Surface Area- the sum of the areas of all the
faces of a shape. Think of adding together all
the areas on a card board box. How much
cardboard would you need to make the box?
Perimeter- the distance around the outside of
a shape. Think about a fence outlining our
schools playground. The fence makes a
perimeter.
