This page brings you to a table of contents of three-dimensional figures. Selecting a figure will bring you to a page defining and illustrating the figure with applicable formulas listed.

Convert metric measurements to U.S. Measurements and the reverse, too. Easy to follow tables have sections for area, length, mass,temperature and volume.

Use this converter to find equivalent units for a measure. You can convert measures for area, length, weight, temperature, and volume.

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

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....

About how many cells are in the human body? The purpose of this task is for learners to apply the concepts of mass, volume, and density in a real-world context. Aligns with G-MG.A.2.

In this task, students are given an aluminum soda can and are simply asked how they could determine how thick the can is. Aligns with G-MG.A.1 and G-MG.A.2.

This is a mathematical modeling task aimed at making a reasonable estimate for something which is too large to count accurately, the number of leaves on a tree, taking into account the tree size and the density of the leaves. Aligns with...

Use prior knowledge of a rectangular prism to determine the formula of a cylinder. Check for understanding with the assessment at then end of lesson.

This is a site for students and teachers of all grade levels. If you are looking for math tables, general information about math topics, or you would like to ask a question, this is the site to visit.

This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

This is the definitive source for information on SI base units, derived units, squares, cubes, luminosity, field strength and flux density.

Print or create worksheets or flashcards to assess students' understanding of angle measure, area, surface area, and volume.

What is a prism? Find a good definition and several example images, as well as formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a prism given measurements of its base and height.

[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 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.

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

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...

What is a pyramid? Find a definition, example images, and formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a pyramid if given base and height measurements. Includes a very brief look at a pyramid in Egypt and its measurements.

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...

A metric measurement lesson plan using grams, milliliters, and centimeters. This instructional activity offers a variety of "hands on" measurement activities using both the customary and metric systems. Additionally, this lesson plan...

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....
