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...

Practice finding the surface area and volume of some three-dimensional prisms.

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 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.

Provides an explanation, examples, and video lessons all related to area and volume of pyramids, prisms, cylinders, and cones.

Use this applet to determine the volume of a box by filling it with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. Determine the surface area as well by using the box's net.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students will find the heights of cylinders given surface area and one other dimension. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

This site describes the concept of oblique, expressing both triangles and three dimensional solids. Be sure to use the links to related terms, everyday examples, challenging problems, more information, and the interactive check point...

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Quiz your knowledge of three-dimensional figures, specifically volume and surface area, with this sixteen-question practice exercise.

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

Sixth graders explore the faces, bases, edges, and vertices of prisms and pyramids to help develop the concepts of volume and surface area.

Use this calculator to determine the volume, surface area, or other figure for a square pyramid, given the other numbers. Users set their parameters for two known variables of the pyramid and find what the unknown amounts would be.

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.

Use this interactive tool to explore prisms. Change the height and the shape of the base to see how these affect the prism. There are also several additional options, e.g., making it oblique or transparent. Properties of a prism are...

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...

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...

A learning resource that incorporates augmented reality (AR), using a camera, where students explore the volume and surface area of 3-D figures. The home page for this site has a PDF resource that explains how AR works and provides...
