In this measuring volume worksheet, learners are given 2 diagrams for 24 problems. In the first diagram they are given a graduated cylinder with an initial volume of water. In the second diagram they are give a graduated cylinder with an...

Learners calculate the volume of prisms and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students are give part of the formula, and must calculate the missing parts. They use 80% accuracy for their dimensions.

For this identifying units of measure worksheet, learners estimate the volume of their bodies using the bath method and component method, estimate the density of their bodies and use a conversion sheet to convert metric measurements....

Students experiment with a variety of liquids to calculate density. In this integrated science and math lesson, students listen to a story in which the characters must prove and explain why 5 "mystery" liquids react in a certain manner....

In this density worksheet, students calculate the density of objects given their mass and volume. They are given a table with the density of a variety of substances and given the mass or volume and must find the unknown.

Math: The only subject where the solution to a problem is seven million matches. Young scholars first complete an assessment task estimating the number of matches they can make from a tree of given dimensions. They then evaluate provided...

Eighth graders determine the density of a sinker by first finding the mass and then the volume using a graduated cylinder. Students must write the procedure they use to find the volume of the sinker then apply their data to follow-up...

In this volume and surface area learning exercise, students find the volume in each of the ten problems listed and write their measurements in terms of the larger amount. They find the volume of a sphere, a rectangular solid, and a...

A video and popcorn, just like being at the movies! Given the dimensions of two different cylinders, scholars decide which will hold the most popcorn. They find out if their calculations are correct with the provided solution video.

Problem solve across the content standards. The presentation slides provide 19 sample items from the Smarter Balanced high school assessment. Items illustrate Claim 2, problem solving, of the test and are drawn from all the high school...

Do the math before you do something crazy—like filling a pool full of Coca-Cola. A video shows a pool owner filling a large backyard pool with bottles of Coke. Scholars use the dimensions of the pool to determine the number of bottles...

Young scholars determine the density of a material created in the laboratory and observe physical and chemical changes. They engage in a lab activity, and answer questions on a worksheet imbedded in this plan.

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

Looking for a well-done presentation on capacity and volume? Then this presentation is for you! Capacity and volume are commonly mistaken for each other by young mathematicians. Of course, one is a measurement of how much a container...

Sprouting scientists explore the concept of density by making mass and volume measurements for five different liquids. From these measurements, they calculate densities. They apply their learning to explain Galileo's thermometer works...

In this geometry learning exercise, 11th graders calculate the volume of there dimensional shapes using the formula for cylinders. They are given the height and the base and asked to calculate the volume. There are 4 problems.

Provide your class some practice with the dimensions of geometric figures. Here you have a set of three different-shaped, stemmed drinking glasses with diameters and heights provided. Math-minded individuals calculate the volume of each....

Swimmers know to float by turning their bodies horizontally rather than vertically, but why does that make a difference? In an interesting lesson, scholars explore buoyancy and the properties of air and water. They test cups to see which...

In this volume lab worksheet, students are guided through an experiment to determine volume of a liquid. Students determine water displacement. Students use a formula to calculate volume of a solid figure.

In this volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they determine the volume of a prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and a sphere as shown. Then, students determine the surface...

Students compare and contrast the mass, volume, and density of various objects. They use a triple beam balance, measure and record the volume of a cup of water, and discuss the results.

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students use their calculators to find the volume or surface area of a pictured 3-dimensional figure.

Take a shot using a lesson on volume! Young learners watch a video showing a trashcan filling with paper balls. The task is to calculate the number of paper balls that will fit in the can. Pupils use volume calculations to make a...

Learners hear wedding bells in this problem set, as they help a fictional bride plan the centerpieces for her wedding reception. Algebra is married to geometry as volume, aesthetics, and budgeting all come into play. Learners are...
