All the 2-D and 3-D measurement work you need is in one location. Divided into three sections, the geometry lesson plans consist of visualization of three dimensions, classifying geometric figures, and finding surface area and volume....

Build foundational knowledge of volume by building boxes. Given dimensions for a piece of grid paper, young mathematicians determine the number of possible open-top boxes it will make. As part of this task, they also find the box with...

Optimally, you want the largest box. Given a square piece of box material, pupils determine the size of congruent squares to cut out of the corners to create a box with the greatest volume. Learners determine the equation of the volume...

Ten similar worksheets plus their answer keys are included in this resource. Each simply displays three right rectangular prisms with their length, height, and width printed on them. Fifth graders apply the formula for the volume of a...

In this volume learning exercise, 8th graders solve and complete 6 different short answer questions and problems that relate to volume. First, they determine the number of cubes found altogether that has a given length, width and height....

In this prisms learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they find the volume of a right prism with equilateral triangles as bases. Then, students find the volume of a right prism with...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems that involve area of a rectangular prism and lateral area of a pyramid. The one page interactive worksheet contains five problems. Answers are not provided. 

Middle schoolers evaluate mathematical problems using the formulas for volume. They recognize "perspective" in different shapes including cubes, pyramids and cylinders. Students practice on brainstorming all the different shapes and how...

In this finding the volume and surface area of rectangular prisms instructional activity, students observe the figures with their dimensions in centimeters and apply the formulas to solve. Students solve 3 problems.

Accompanying the lesson at www.shodor.org, this instructional activity present students with a series of questions about the volume and surface area of a rectangular prism and a triangular prism. Students predict how these values would...

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

In this area, perimeter and volume activity, students solve and complete 12 various types of problems. First, they calculate the value for each variable in the triangle shown. Then, students find the distance of the ladder against a wall...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.

Middle schoolers create two prisms out of the same paper. They calcuate the number of centimeter cubes needed to fill each prism. They discover the concept of volume.

Eighth graders continue their geometry unit by focusing on volume. Using data, they create a spreadsheet, estimate and calculate volume. They solve real-life problems and round their answers to the hundredths place. They also practice...

Young scholars solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

Who knew running a greenhouse required so much math? Amaze future mathematicians and farmers with the amount of unit conversions, ratio and proportional reasoning, and geometric applications involved by having them complete the...

Sometimes it's how you ask the question that counts. The sixth installment of nine from the Smarter Balanced Claim 1 Slideshow series presents a set of 13 questions to assess understanding of angle relationships as well as area and...

Fifth graders calculate the perimeters, areas, and volumes of everyday objects. They discuss the word problem involving Puck from the Shakespeare play "Mid-Summer Night's Dream," and invent and plan a method for solving the problem in...

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...
