In this volume and surface area worksheet, students use given formulas to determine the volume and area of polyhedrea. This four-page worksheet contains examples, explanations and 32 problems. Answers are provided on the fourth page.
After providing your learners with a pre-assessment, group learners by ability level. Groups develop and use strategies to find perimeter of regular or irregular shapes using string, paper clips, links, and other objects. They find the area using tiles or counting squares of regular and irregular shapes on a grid. Pupils find the volume by layering cubes in a box.
Learners estimate the volume of each figure shown. They then build it with cubes and write the actual volume. A good activity!
Use this volume and rounding worksheet to have learners find the volume of three dimensional figures. Answers will be rounded to various units. Questions include find the volume of a pyramid, cylinder, and sphere.
Students, after reviewing the measuring of the lengths of sides of different shapes along with the calculation of their perimeters and areas, encounter what it means by the 'perimeter' of a polygon. They practice measuring units of volume as well as strategies to find the volumes of various solids.
Use this volume problem lesson plan to have learners identify triangular prisms, cylinders, and pyramids. They compute the volume of given solids.
In this volume worksheet, students calculate the volume of 8 problems. On the first page, there are 4 rectangular prisms, and the second page has 4 cylinders. Answers are also provided.
In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.
For this volume worksheet, students calculate the volume of cylinders, cubes, and prisms. This one-page worksheet contains 5 multiple-choice problems.
Middle and high schoolers practice the calculation of surface area and volume of a variety of solid shapes. This worksheet has 13 problems for the pupils to solve and includes and answer sheet.
