Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide reviews the surface area and volume of pyramids and cones.

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of area, surface area and volume.

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 project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Use this calculator to determine the volume, surface area, or other figure for a square pyramid, given the other numbers. Users set their parameters for two known variables of the pyramid and find what the unknown amounts would be.

Learn how to find the volume and surface area of a cylinder by trying interactive examples. Includes definitions and links to related topics.

Use this interactive tool to explore cones. Change the height and the radius to see how these affect the cone. There is also the option of making an oblique cone. Properties of a cone are discussed, how to use formulas to calculate the...

A complete reference guide to cones. It provides definitions, examples, and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...
