Seventh graders will extend their knowledge of volume to find the volume of right prisms, seeing that the volume is the area of the base multiplied by the height.

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

This online calculator will calculate the various properties of a square pyramid given 2 known variables. The square pyramid is a special case of a pyramid where the base is square. It is a regular pyramid with a square base.

Use this calculator to determine the volume, surface area, or other figure for a square pyramid, given the other numbers. Users set their parameters for two known variables of the pyramid and find what the unknown amounts would be.

Choose a calculation for density p, mass m or Volume V. Enter the other two values and the calculator will solve for the third in the selected units.

Explains how to calculate the volume and surface area of a cylinder using the standard formulas. Includes example problems.

Use this calculator tool to find the volume in cubic units of a triangular prism.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson, students use the geometry program GeoGebra to explore Cavalieri's Principle, specifically to investigate whether it applies when calculating the volume of oblique solids. Lesson includes...

What determines the concentration of a solution? Learn about the relationships between moles, liters, and molarity by adjusting the amount of solute and solution volume. Change solutes to compare different chemical compounds in water.

Geometry is the study of how to use math to describe and investigate different points, lines and shapes. The way that a shape is described in geometry is with a formula, which is simply a mathematical way to calculate different...

Calculate the density of cubes made of different materials to determine what type of material it contains. Using this information explain that the size, mass, and arrangement of the atoms or molecules of a substance determines its density.

By determining the dimensions necessary for building a box with the greatest volume, students will explore the world of polynomial and rational expressions. Graphing calculators can be used for this activity.

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...

Demonstrates how to calculate the area of two-dimensional shapes using formulas. Covers parallelogram, triangle, trapezoid, and circle. Includes a video modeling how to find the area of a circle and a triangle. [0:59]

Students analyze and begin to design a pyramid. Working in engineering teams, they perform calculations to determine the area of the pyramid base, stone block volumes, and the number of blocks required for their pyramid base. They make a...
