In this volume worksheet, high schoolers find the volume of 6 prisms/cylinders.  Students use a picture and given measurements of the prisms/cylinders to find the volume.

In this volume worksheet, learners determine the number of cuboids needed to create a rectangular prism of a particular size. They determine the mass, volume and density of cereal boxes. Students determine the volume of rectangular...

Upper graders define perimeter and area of a rectangle, estimate numbers of cubes and determine the maximum amount that will fit in a given space. In this math lesson, pupils complete related worksheet, build prisms and find volume and...

In this volume worksheet, students recognize three-dimensional figures, identify the proper volume formula, and then solve the equation by inserting information from a diagram into the formula. Students solve six equations.

Show class members how to connect algebra to geometry. A high school assessment task has pupils determine volumes of two different containers given limitations on material for box frames. Pupils then write a paragraph on...

What happens to a volume when you scale the dimensions of a rectangular prism? In this problem, a box of clay is increased in each dimension, with the intent to see if learners can generalize the result. The addition of...

Geometry.... sweet! Using sugar cubes, learners build rectangular prisms of different sizes and shapes. They glue them together and assess volume. Then they color the outer sides to visualize and compute surface area. To make a visceral...

Eighth graders investigate the concept of a prism and finding the volume. They begin the inquiry by attempting to find the surface area in order to begin the inquiry. Students are expected to apply memory for the mathematical formulas in...

Pupils calculate the surface area of different prisms. In this geometry lesson, students identify the shapes of solids based on the properties of that solid. They calculate the surface area using nets and properties of prisms.

When would a farmer use math? Class members work through five tasks on a farm that require knowledge of surface area, volume, and determining regression equations. The challenges range from figuring out the amount of paint to buy,...

Investigate the volume of irregular figures in an inquiry-based exercise. Presented with an irregularly shaped box filled with water, learners must predict the level of water when it is tipped on its side. The class can divide...

This lesson starts with geometers discussing how to find the volume of a cone and pyramid, using what they know about the volume of a cylinder or prism. Then, using the formulas, they calculate the volume of cones and...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students compute the volume and surface area of 8 shapes. Four shapes are rectangular prisms, four shapes are cylinders.
