[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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, young scholars build geometric models of graduation caps using stiff paper. The activity requires the application of skills in finding surface area, understanding similarity, knowing the...

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.

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Using an engaging approach, this lesson 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 shapes.

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.
