We All Scream for Ice Scream

Our teacher told us the formula had one-third, but why? Using manipulatives, classmates try to explain the volume formula for a pyramid. After constructing a cube with six congruent pyramids, pupils use scaling principles from previous...

What is the relationship between a hemisphere, a cone, and a cylinder? Using Cavalieri's Principle, the class determines that the sum of the volume of a hemisphere and a cone with the same radius and height equals the volume of a...

Go beyond the basic formulas and uncover the surface area and volume of 3-D shapes with this comprehensive and organized worksheet packet. The problems include the basic formula computations while also challenging your learners to derive...

Every pupil with a sweet tooth will be clamoring for this lab and analysis, particularly when they're allowed to eat the results! Volume and surface area formulas for cones are developed from models, and then extended to the printing of...

Partners use materials to wrap three-dimensional objects to determine the formula for surface area. The groups use an orange to calculate the amount of peel it takes to completely cover the fruit. Using manipulatives, individuals then...

How much ice cream can you fit into a waffle cone? Sounds like geometry! Learners explore the process for calculating the volume of a right and oblique cone in this concept video. The instructor completes three examples of unique cones...

How do you find the volume of a rectangular pyramid? Watch this video and find out! In the tutorial, a lecturer works through an example problem. While she works, she describes each step and each formula necessary to solve the problem. A...

[Accessible by TX Educators. Free Registration/Login Required] The student will use models to develop formulas and connect them to the volume of prisms, spheres, cylinders, pyramids, and cones.

Review the formulas for the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, cones, and spheres.

Is summer close yet? Think about this yummy ice cream treat in a mathematical way! A problem of volume is posed for an ice cream cone.
