This is an Internet-based (online) and group discussion lesson. Learners will learn the formulas for surface area and volume of cylinders and cones. Students should have previously learned how to determine the area for a circle; however,...

This site provides great practice on the concept of volume. Students can first learn about the topic by watching a step by step instruction video that also points out areas of concern. Finally, students can practice their knowledge by...

This Math Forum instructional activity gives instructions on how to build a paper pyramid. Bonuses included finding the surface area and volume of the pyramid.

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.

Students solve for the volume of three-dimensional figures such as cubes, prisms, and cylinders with these interactive flashcards.

Find out how to find the volume of a prism, and follow up with some practice problems.

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...

This lesson introduces the units of distance (cubed units) used to describe volume. Students watch a video tutorial and then can take an online quiz.

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

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flip chart, students apply geometric sense by using the properties of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes to solve mathematical problems involving area and volume.

This site gives formulas for the area, volume, and surface area of various shapes.

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.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

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.
