Don't be so dense that light bends around you; study the relationship between mass and volume instead. Young chemists measure the density of a variety of liquids and solids. A reading passage and analysis questions introduce pupils to...

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...

Tall and skinny or short and stout, which glass hold the most liquid? Learners analyze dimensions of cylindrical glasses to determine the one holding the greatest amount of liquid. They brainstorm the relevant dimensions before making...

Given a box of certain dimensions, young mathematicians must determine if a box that is twice as big, actually holds twice as much. This is a brain-teaser of a problem. The worksheet provides a handy table that has learners calculate the...

Score some problems all related to soccer balls. The first few problems focus on pattern blocks to see relationships between figures. More advanced problems focus on actual soccer balls, the patterns on the balls, and their volumes and...

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

Twenty-four problems covering a variety of solid figure topics: dimensions, volume, surface and base areas. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click...

Students, teachers, and parents alike will enjoy this challenging math site. It contains a clever brain teaser section plus creative problems related to algebra, geometry, measurement, numbers, statistics, and probability. A Spanish...

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.

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.

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...
