Students learn about the properties of a prism, some different types, and the formulas for surface area and volume. Includes an interactive prism and multiple-choice questions.

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

This task challenges a student to use knowledge of concepts of volume and its attributes to solve problems with rectangular prisms.

What is a prism? Find a good definition and several example images, as well as formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a prism given measurements of its base and height.

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.

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.

In this exercise, students practice finding volume. 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.

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...

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...

Explore the measurement of cylinders.

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

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...

During this activity, middle schoolers will create nets for prisms. They will find the volume and surface area of the shapes. They will also use interactive activities to review three-dimensional shapes.This lesson plan was created as a...
