Solving Problems Using Data
Students will calculate the total surface area of prisms and cylinders by considering their nets and individual faces.
Key Questions
- How do you use information from a table or graph to solve a word problem?
- What steps do you follow to answer a multi-part question using data?
- Can you make a simple conclusion based on the data shown in a graph and support your answer?

Planning templates for Mathematics
5E Model
The 5E Model structures lessons through five phases (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, and Evaluate), guiding students from curiosity to deep understanding through inquiry-based learning.
unit plannerMath Unit
Plan a multi-week math unit with conceptual coherence: from building number sense and procedural fluency to applying skills in context and developing mathematical reasoning across a connected sequence of lessons.
rubricMath Rubric
Build a math rubric that assesses problem-solving, mathematical reasoning, and communication alongside procedural accuracy, giving students feedback on how they think, not just whether they got the right answer.
