The students will make the connection between 2-D and 3-D shapes using modeling clay and geometric solids and participate in an interactive web activity. Students will make predictions about what 2-D shape they think will be made when...

Use this lesson plan to help students learn about cylinders. Students will be creating cylinders, and comparing them and their capacity. This engaging, hands-on lesson will hold student interest and be very beneficial to student learning.

Using an engaging approach, this instructional activity requires students to record the volume of cylinders as a function of the radius. Students will construct and measure the volume of several cylinders and then begin comparing these...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a formative assessment task where students are asked to use geometric solids to model each of four tent shapes on a worksheet and use mathematical language to describe them. Samples of student...

Use this online calculator to calculate the volume of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, and spherical cap.
