Students learn to explore relationships between units of measure and objects to be measured. They develop an understanding of length, area, and volume.

In this activity, students find the area and the perimeter for several geometric shapes. They also determine the surface area and volume of spheres.

On this interactive site students learn to estimate lengths and distances using kilometers, explain the difference between perimeter and area, and measure the volume of a 3D object by counting the cubic centimeters.

Students learn how volume, viscosity and slope are factors that affect the surface area that lava covers. Using clear transparency grids and liquid soap, students conduct experiments, make measurements and collect data. They also...

Given application problems involving 3-dimensional figures, the student will estimate measurements, including surface area and/or volume, then solve the problems.

Many students dream of designing their ideal bedroom. For this exercise, students will be required to limit their designs by size (as a specific volume) and price (a specific amount). They must design the floor plan, including furniture...

Find the volume of a rectangular prism by multiplying the area of the base by the height of the figure. Measurements include fractions. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a...

In this task, students must estimate the number of leaves on a large tree, taking into account various complex factors such as the area shaded by the tree, the area of irregularly shaped leaves, the uneven distribution of leaves, the...

Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...

Metric Conversions offers online calculators for making conversions, downloadable tables in many types of metric conversion (pdf format), and free conversion tools to put onto your website or dynamic pages.

A learning resource that incorporates augmented reality (AR), using a camera, where students explore the volume and surface area of 3-D figures. The home page for this site has a PDF resource that explains how AR works and provides...

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.

At this site from the Math Forum, Dr. Math explains the concept of volume using area as the base of information. The explanation includes some examples and is worth using for information on the subject.

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.
