YOUTUBE Video

I chose this video, because my students and I are about to begin Unit 5: Geometry.  I thought this video, although very simple, was a nice introduction to surface area.  I would have the students track the video and copy down the notes as the teacer did on the board.  Afterwards, I would give the students a worksheet of several more surface area problems involving cubes.  After 5 minutes of drill, I would introduce surface area of rectangular prisms.  I would then give students more practice problems calculating the surface area of both recangular prisms and cubes.
