Put on your thinking caps because middle school math has never been more interesting in this huge resource full of thought provoking questions. Written as a newsletter, the resource has 10 two-page newsletters with a variety of...

Learners calculate the volume of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between base and height. They calculate the area of each prism and cylinder.

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...

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

Design an efficient cereal box. Scholars use set volume criteria to design a cereal box by applying their knowledge of surface area to determine the cost to create the box. They then determine whether their designs will fit on...

Double, toil ,and double linear dimensions. Learners first complete an assessment investigating how doubling linear dimensions affects the area of pizzas and the volume of popcorn containers. They then complete an activity investigating...

Young scholars solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

Now that geometers know how to solve for square units, can they solve for cubed units? Explore this concept as scholars examine four cubes to solve for volume in each. A detailed example explains this process, but you may consider asking...

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

Determine the level of understanding within your classes using a summative assessment. As the final lesson in a 29-part module, the goal is to assess the topics addressed during the unit. Concepts range from linear angle relationships,...

Give young arithmeticians an applicable way to use their addition and subtraction skills with these five word problems. Each one presents a scenario requiring they add or subtract numbers with units (money, distance, weight,...

In this geometry activity, students walk through the process of comparing the scale factor of two cylinders' surface area and volume and answer questions about the scale factor of prisms. There are 15 questions.

Eighth graders investigate concepts related to the finding of the area of prisms. They use boxes as models of calculating the area while getting ready for the next level. The instructors are given sovereignty over the assessments and the...

Students measure prisms and determine their volume. In this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Students use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

In this geometry activity, students, calculate the volume given the sides of the shapes. There are 6 questions dealing with volumes.

Students explore the concept of area under a curve. In this area under a curve lesson, students find the area under a curve using the Monte Carlo method using random points and probability. Students calculate the area under the same...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms and pyramids. The one page interactive worksheet contains eleven questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Students work in groups to make accurate measurements. In this area and perimeter measurement instructional activity, the student groups determine what they will measure and what tools they will need, then find the accurate measurement...

Young scholars build nets of three-dimensional prisms based on the dimensions they are given for hexagonal prism, triangular prism, rectangular prism. Working in groups, they use their prisms and calculate the Surface Area and Lateral Area.

In this area worksheet, students commence solving for area of squares and rectangles, and continue to parallelograms and triangles, and continue again to rhombi and trapezoids and finish with circles, polygons, and shaded...

Learners find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Students identify the surface area of pyramids and other polygons. For this geometry lesson, students find the different measurements for the different parts of a polygon. They use the surface area formula to solve for the surface...
