In this exercise, students practice estimating mass. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get step-by-step hints and try questions repeatedly. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.A.2 Measure and estimate liquid volumes and...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept covers what a composite solid is and how to find its volume and surface area. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional...

Students investigate the relationship between density of an object, its mass and its volume. They use mass and volume measurements to determine the density of pennies. They compare the density of pre-1983 and post-1984 pennies.

Kindergartners measure each other's height using large building blocks, then visit a 2nd and a 4th grade class to measure those learners. They can also measure adults in the school community. Results are displayed in age-appropriate bar...

This page explains the relation between liters and milliliters and the conversion between these units. Included are solved examples and interactive problems for review.

A geometry instructional activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive instructional activity that considers students with diverse learning...

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

Conversion calculators galore! Convert just about anything from one measureable unit into another measureable unit here with over two dozen calculators. Each of the links is specific to a measureable quantity. Some examples include...

Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

In this task, students are given the dimensions of a soda can and are asked to estimate its thickness. They must first find the surface area and the volume of aluminum. Aligns with G-MG.A.1 and G-MG.A.2.

In this engaging instructional activity, students use a variety of measurement strategies in creating their own Sand Babies. Students explore standard and non-standard measurements, area, data collection and analysis, and graphing....

Demonstrates how to calculate the area of two-dimensional shapes using formulas. Covers parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid, and circle. Includes a video modeling how to find the area of a circle and a triangle. [0:59]

In this activity, students explore the use of nonstandard units of volume and calculators to estimate the number of peas it would take to fill a class room.

Explore the similarities between the volume of a cylinder and a prism.

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

For this task, learners investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...

Explore the measurement of cylinders.

Compare weights and volumes using popped and unpopped popcorn.

Students estimate the cost of building an Egyptian pyramid with modern materials and ancient building methods in this math project.

Students will learn and reinforce skills for measuring perimeter and area of 2D shapes and measuring surface area and volume of 3D shapes.
