Explanation of surface area and the volume of pyramids, prisms, cylinders, and cones through examples and a video lesson. [1:44]

In this lesson plan, learners will find the volume of geometric solids.

"The volume of a cube can be developed by considering unit cubes, a single row (longs) of unit cubes or a single layer (flats) of cubes using this applet." This easy software makes it possible to easily construct a cube and take it...

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

Use this online calculator to calculate the volume of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, and spherical cap.

This page brings you to a table of contents of three-dimensional figures. Selecting a figure will bring you to a page defining and illustrating the figure with applicable formulas listed.

Students learn how to write simple programs to evaluate formulas in several variables for lists of data. They apply these skills to the computation of areas, volumes and surface areas of familiar geometric solids.

For this task, learners investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...

Using an engaging approach, this lesson requires students to record the volume of cylinders as a function of the radius. Students will construct and measure the volume of several cylinders and then begin comparing these shapes.

This Math Forum instructional activity gives instructions on how to build a paper pyramid. Bonuses included finding the surface area and volume of the pyramid.

This tutorial will show you how using formulas can help you solve problems. Include formulas for various geometric shapes and steps showing how to use them.

This lesson introduces the units of distance (cubed units) used to describe volume. Students watch a video tutorial and then can take an online quiz.

A geometry instructional activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive instructional activity that considers students with diverse learning...

This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

This website, from the University of Edinburgh, provides a lengthy glossary of computer graphics terms written by Olin Lathrop, author of "The Way Computer Graphics Work". This site provides simple definitions of basic terms; no graphics...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flip chart, students apply geometric sense by using the properties of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to solve mathematical problems involving area and volume.
