Use this interactive tool to find the surface area of a pyramid. Try different figures for the height and the base to see how these affect the area. Properties of a pyramid are discussed, how to use a formula to calculate the surface...

Use this interactive tool to explore cones. Change the height and the radius to see how these affect the cone. There is also the option of making an oblique cone. Properties of a cone are discussed, how to use formulas to calculate the...

Use this interactive tool to explore prisms. Change the height and the shape of the base to see how these affect the prism. There are also several additional options, e.g., making it oblique or transparent. Properties of a prism are...

For this task, students are asked to calculate the height above sea level of a lamp on top of a lighthouse that is visible to a boat, and to examine two other interpretations of the distance from the lighthouse to the boat. Aligns with...

The purpose of this task is to introduce students to an exponential decay function in the form f(x) = abx, with a concrete interpretation of the decay factor b. A table shows the rebound height of a basketball for each successive bounce....

This task asks students to compare the volume of a cone to a truncated cone when they are the same height. They must calculate volumes for a cone, a truncated cone, and a hemisphere. Aligns with 8.G.C.9.

This is a lab in which the students will calculate the height of an air or water rocket by using trigonometry.

Learn how unit cubes can be used to model the solution for the volume of a 3D figure This video focuses on calculating the volume of a rectangular prism using the equation, length x width x height. This video was submitted through the...
