Curated OER
The Value of Volume
Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Surface Area and Volume
You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...
Curated OER
Dissecting the Cube
Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.
Curated OER
Pyramids- Slant Height and Altitude
Young scholars calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.
Curated OER
Pyramids on Parade/Nets
Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Module 5: Modeling with Geometry
Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Investigation-On the Surface
Students compute the surface area of 3 geometric solids to determine the shape of package that would require the least amount of paper to wrap. In this geometry lesson, students work on a two-question assessment embedded in the plan. The...
