Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.

Partners use materials to wrap three-dimensional objects to determine the formula for surface area. The groups use an orange to calculate the amount of peel it takes to completely cover the fruit. Using manipulatives, individuals then...

Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...

All 20 of the problems on the worksheet involve the computation of cubic volume or density. As long as your young scientists can apply the appropriate mathematical formulas, they will succeed in solving these problems. They are not...

Here is a challenging and thought-provoking math worksheet. In it, learners work together to construct a variety of boxes of different sizes to see if doubling the size of a box really means it can hold twice as much stuff as the...

In this volume worksheet, students create different sized cubes and compare the sizes by pouring sand from one cube into another. Students follow 4 directions and reflect on their findings.

In this solid to liquid worksheet, learners use ice cubes and water to see how the volume of water changes when solid water turns to liquid. Students follow 4 directions and answer 5 questions.

For this metric system worksheet, students convert measurements of volume from the English system of measurement to the metric system. They also convert within the metric system and answer questions about volume measurements.

It's all about density! Here's a dense workbook for young scientists; they solve (and show work for) 29 density word problems, including a problem where they solve for the density of Godzilla. They complete labs analyzing metal...

In this heat transfer and phase change worksheet, learners experiment with ice, salt, and milk to show the relationship between the temperature of a solution and its phase. Students turn milk from a liquid to a solid and graph the...

In this states of matter worksheet, students read about the changes in energy for matter to go from one state to another state. They complete a chart for each state of matter and identify the shape, the volume, its compressibility, the...

In this matter worksheet, students read a chart that uses water to show the three most common states of matter. Students review the properties of solids. This worksheet has 2 graphic organizers and 8 fill in the blank questions.

In this geometry instructional activity, 10th graders define surface area, net and lateral face. They calculate the surface areas of cones, prisms and cubes. There are 9 surface area questions.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included.
