Fill and Wrap It Up
Students find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Grab the Candy
In this ordered pairs worksheet, students place candy shaped markers on a grid sheet. They roll the dice to form an ordered pair. They place a marker on that grid square and take the candy piece if there is one located there.
