This is an interactive site that enables the viewer to input different measurements in order to learn about surface area and volume for a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

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

In this task, young scholars 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.

Why can't cells continue to grow larger and larger to become giant cells, like a blob? Why are most cells microscopic in size? Find out answers to these questions through this "hands-on" activity that simulates the changing relationship...

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 calculate unknown variables for a cube such as a side length, face diagonal, solid diagonal, surface area, and volume.

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.

To display the results from the previous activity, each student designs and constructs a mobile that contains a duplicate of his or her original box, the new cube-shaped box of the same volume, the scraps that are left over from the...

The Center for Mathematics and Science Education at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill provides an interesting and easy-to-use dictionary of the history and meaning of many measurement terms. Metric, International, and...

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....

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...
