Give an informal argument using Cavalieri’s principle for the
formulas for the volume of a sphere and other solid figures.
General Information
Subject Area: Mathematics
Grade: 912
Domain-Subdomain: Geometry: Geometric Measurement & Dimension
Cluster: Level 3: Strategic Thinking & Complex Reasoning
Cluster: Explain volume formulas and use them to solve problems. (Geometry - Additional Cluster) -
Clusters should not be sorted from Major to Supporting and then taught in that order. To do so would strip the coherence of the mathematical ideas and miss the opportunity to enhance the major work of the grade with the supporting clusters.
