To find the surface area, add up the areas of the faces.

New Developments on the Class Blog

So, there are many of you that are unsure of what you can do once you log onto the House of Mashinchi Blog. Well, now there are places you can link on to get more information.


First, look to the right...

1) Under "Other Cool Sites to Check Out" there is a link on "What's a Wiki. If you are usure of what a wiki is, you can check out this cool YouTube Video and get some information.

2) If you are interested in Wikis, then click on Student Edited Wiki. This is where you, as my students, can post information that you are learning, answer questions I may post, or ask each other math questions.

3) For information on leaving comments on the class blog, go to the link "Mr.s Mashinchi's House of Math." There are two different links on the left of the House of Math. Click on "Leaving Comments" and you will be taken to a Wiki on leaving comments on the blog.

Happy Commenting...
