A very detailed lesson on determining the volume of rectangular prisms, teaching students how to derive the formula for volume, and to use it successfully. Plenty of examples, student work, and assessment options.

Use this applet to determine the volume of a box by filling it with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. Determine the surface area as well by using the box's net.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

Contains six examples of polyhedra nets (cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, cubosctahedron).

Lesson plans for many student activities which introduce the concept of polyhedra into the classroom. Some activities can be accomplished by hand with paper, pencils, and scissors, but the unit works best if the students can regularly...
