Shapes and Dimensions 7/3 |
|
 This module is third in the Level 7 series, after Prime Factoring and Decimals & Percent, but can be used as a stand-alone module. All dimensions are in decimal units, in keeping with the mode for the Level 7 curriculum. There are 23 DVD lessons and 1 supplemental lesson (no video). We start with finding area and perimeter of polygons, and area and circumference of circles. This leads into area and perimeter of compound and complex figures made up of more than one shape, combined to form the new figures. Some figures add area to the original figures, and some subtract area from them. Then we move on to solid figures. We find surface area and volume of figures including various solid pyramids, cylinders, cones, frustums, and spheres. Finding volume of compound figures by combining various solid figures is covered. We also learn about buoyancy and displacement of floating and submerged objects.
Sample Problem: When a rock weighing 318 pounds is placed in water, it displaces 1.9 cubic feet of water. How much does the rock weigh in fresh water? How much does it weigh in seawater?
This module contains:
- 1 Data CD (printed material)
- 3 Lesson DVDs (23 lessons)
- 1 Supplemental Lesson (no video)
- 24 Lessons Total

I have to write to thank you already before I even have received the package we just ordered. I just tested our children with your Subtraction test available on your website for free. I thought it would be a good place to start as we wait for it to arrive, to see where all our children of various ages were. Math has always been a poor subject for us, and our oldest daughter has had particular problems that has made her extremely discouraged at ever advancing in her math abilities. I cannot tell you what this little diagnostic test has shown us today!
She got a very high rate of mistakes on it, which didn't surprise me when even her younger siblings all got only one wrong. But, when I analyzed her mistakes we discovered that she had picked up a wrong habit when subtracting on her fingers to choose what was left rather than how many was on her fingers. I don't know how she picked up this but she went on to correct this and got all the answers correct after this! It at least made her smile for once to know she was able to correct this and got them all right. I know this program will help her go back and correct and properly understand math and may now finally give us some hope that she will be able to complete her studies in math. Hope is a powerful thing and I thank you for bringing it back to my daughter.
I thank you so much for taking the time to provide us with a good and useful tool to use with our children.
