Curated OER
Solid Surface Area
Students calculate the area of solids. In this geometry lesson, students use formulas to find the surface are and the volume of solids. They investigate 3-dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Prisms
Students calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Spheres
High schoolers identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.
