Lesson 1

4E Review of Length

Find perimeters and circle circumferences, and convert between length units.

Lesson 2

4G Area of Triangles, Quadrilaterals, Circles and Sectors

Find areas of rectangles, triangles, circles and sectors.

Lesson 3

4H Accuracy of Measuring Instruments

Determine the absolute error and limits of accuracy of a measurement.

Lesson 4

Surface Area of Prisms

Calculate the surface area of rectangular and triangular prisms by finding the area of every face and adding them together.

Lesson 5

Surface Area of Cylinders

Apply SA = 2πr² + 2πrh to find the surface area of closed and open cylinders.

Lesson 6

Volume of Prisms and Cylinders

Calculate the volume of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and cylinders, and rearrange the formula to find an unknown dimension.

Lesson 7

Surface Area and Volume of Pyramids

Calculate the volume of square and rectangular pyramids using V = (1/3) × base area × height, and the surface area of square pyramids using the slant height.

Lesson 8

Surface Area and Volume of Cones

Apply V = (1/3)πr²h for cone volume, CSA = πrl for curved surface area, and TSA = πr² + πrl for total surface area, using Pythagoras to find the slant height when needed.

Lesson 9

Surface Area and Volume of Spheres

Apply SA = 4πr² and V = (4/3)πr³ to find the surface area and volume of spheres, and rearrange to find the radius.

Lesson 10

Similar Figures and Scale Factors

Apply length, area, and volume scale factors to similar figures: area scales by k², volume scales by k³.
