Learners 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.

Young scholars solve word problems by using basic geometry. For this geometry lesson, students use geometric formulas to find the perimeter, area, and volume of objects. Young scholars complete a worksheet.

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Students identify and categorize different problem situations or contexts using one of four measurements to solve the problem. Through guided and independent practice, they discover ways to determine which measurement to use when...

Learners calculate the volume of polyhedrons. In this algebra lesson, students are asked to solve a complex problem. They identify the length of the edges and the volume of the shape.

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students read about volume and area, then solve a set of problems arranged in increasing order of difficulty.

In this determinant worksheet, students explore determinants, area and volume. This two-page worksheet contains explanations and examples. It provides two problems for students to solve.

Review and use standard units of measure with your math class. They move from station to station estimating and measuring length, volume, weight, and area. At each station they estimate and measure, and then compute the difference...

Students engage in a instructional activity that uses applied mathematics to find the solution to the design of a pool for a home. They design the pool based upon scale measurements that include perimeter and area of the pool area, water...

Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

Polygon ... an empty bird cage? After finding the angles of a polygon, young mathematicians use the provided methods to solve the problem in multiple ways.
