Surface Area to Volume Ratio of Prisms

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

The measurements are all in the can. The review for the math portion of the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments provides scholars the opportunity to review finding volume and surface area of a cylinder. Pupils work on...

Set the bases of a conversation on prisms. The segment of a playlist on geometry introduces prisms and their parts. After visualizing prisms, the video discusses how to find the surface area and volume of prisms.

Create a solid understanding of the concept of surface area. Building from the previous lesson in the series, the instructor demonstrates how to apply a formula to find the surface area of a rectangular prism. Examples use the formula to...

Round out the unit by investigating spheres. The fifth of six parts in the Geometry - Surface Area and Volume unit has pupils learn how to calculate both quantities for spheres. They watch as the narrator of an instructional video works...

What are lateral faces? How do you find the area of all the lateral faces? What to do with the perimeter of the base? Then what do you do with those values? You use it to help determine the total lateral area of a rectangle. Yes, more...

Geometry.... sweet! Using sugar cubes, learners build rectangular prisms of different sizes and shapes. They glue them together and assess volume. Then they color the outer sides to visualize and compute surface area. To make a visceral...

While the instructional activity focuses on right triangles, this activity offers a great way to practice the area of all triangles through an interactive webpage. The activity begins with the class taking a square paper and cutting in...

I always thought a prism was a solid triangular shaped piece of glass that made rainbows when the light shined through it. Well, that is a prism, but that is only one example of a prism, as prisms are three-dimensional solids of a...

Don't avoid the cuboid. A short video describes how to find the surface area of a rectangular prism by adding the areas of all its sides. The narrator of the video works through two examples using the process to ensure understanding.
