In this exercise, students practice figuring volume with unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Practice finding the volume of rectangular prisms that have fractional side lengths. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Find the volume of irregular 3D figures by dividing the figures into rectangular prisms and finding the volume of each part. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or...

Explore the similarities between the volume of a cylinder and a prism.

The purpose of this task is for students to use the volume of a rectangular prism to see why you can multiply three numbers in any order you want and still get the same result. Aligns with 5.OA.A and 5.MD.C.5.

In this task about banana bread, 6th graders must calculate the volume of a pan to see if it is large enough for the bread batter. Aligns with 6.G.A.2.

Compare a prism and a cylinder in order to determine the similarities of calculating the volume.

In this lesson, young scholars will be required to generate a formula for volume of a rectangular prism. Students working in cooperative groups will use prior knowledge for finding area of a rectangle to determine the "amount of area in...

The purpose of this task is for students to use the volume of a rectangular prism to understand the associative property of multiplication. Aligns with 5.MD.C.5.a.

Modeling volume with centimeter cubes deepens understanding of the formula for finding volume.

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

This site provides an online rectangular prism calculator. Using any three of the six attributes (length, width, height, surface area, volume or diagonal), students can calculate the other three attributes. The calculator allows students...

A guide to support parents as they work with their students with area, surface area, and volume problems.

In this activity, students learn to draw a three-dimensional figure using Isometric Dots in the Explorer Draw App on the calculator. They also find the area and volume of a rectangular prism. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

In Spanish. Interactive resources and activities that could be used in the classroom either as an introduction or review to a unit dealing with the volume of three dimensional figures.

This task supports the standard 5.MD.5.b in that it asks students to use the volume formula and conceptual understanding to solve real-world problems.

Find volumes and surface areas of boxes, cylinders, and triangular prisms. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Use these calculator tools to find the surface area, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing...

Middle schoolers find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new,...

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.

This exercise helps students understand how volume in figured, even when two or more parts of a prism are not overlapping. There is a teacher view, with a description of the activity and commentary, and a student view, with just the...

In this activity, students learn to calculate volume of a sphere and a rectangular prism. They explore methods of determining how many volleyballs can be placed in a room.

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

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...
