Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

In this power transmittance instructional activity, students read about sources that transmit power and are given a chart with the distance and the power transmitted by each device. Students determine the intensity in watts of the power...

Eighth graders use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Learners analyze the amount of space required to pack round objects. In this geometry lesson, students practice using space economically by practicing packing spheres into beakers. They then translate this concept to molecules being...

In this magnetic energy worksheet, students are given the formula to calculate the magnetic energy of an object. They use the formula to solve for the magnetic energy of the Earth, a geotail, the Sun, and a solar prominence given their...

Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, students work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

Students explore various polygons and examine how shapes can be manipulated in a variety of ways. In this shape tool lesson, students identify geometric shapes in two dimensions. Students identify and draw one line of symmetry in a...

Students predict the shape of a geometric figure in 3D. In this geometry lesson plan, students construct 3D shapes to perfect their knowledge of measuring and predicting. This assignment is also available as an online interactive lesson...

In this math worksheet, students find the length of the side of a regular hexagon whose area is numerically equal to its perimeter.

For this calculus worksheet, 12th graders answer questions about functions and trigonometric functions. There are 21 questions on this worksheet.

Practice applying the volume formula for a sphere. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

Solve word problems involving the volume of cylinders, spheres, and cones. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.

The geometry resource investigates the volume of a sphere. Formulas, examples, and practice exercises are included.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of various solids using the 'slicing' method and then deriving a formula for each solid. It goes on to discuss...

Use these calculator tools to find the volume, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing formulas...

Use the volume of a cylinder in order to derive the formula for the volume of a sphere. Check understanding with a quiz.

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

Practice applying the volume formula for a cylinder. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video, or receive hints.
