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...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Here is a multiple choice question that would make a good assessment question. Algebra students are to look at the structure of the formula for a given radius of a cylinder and find the resulting radius when the height of the...

In this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.

Lead a discussion on the similarities between the properties of area and the properties of volume. Using upper and lower approximations, pupils arrive at the formula for the volume of a general cylinder. 

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

For this math worksheet, students construct a model of a cylinder by cutting, folding and taping this math net. There is no picture of the finished product.

In this math net worksheet, learners cut out, fold, and assemble a closed cylinder. Students use the net provided to make the three dimensional figure.

In this cylinder worksheet, students minimize the surface area given a set volume.  Students supply the height and radius of the can with the smallest surface area.

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the volume given the radius and height of a cylinder. There are 8 questions with an answer key.

In this volume of solids worksheet, tenth graders solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they write the formula needed to find the volume of each solid. Then, pupils use the Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of the...

Here are six solid figures for learners to identify. The names are listed along the left side and the shapes pictured on the right. Each shape is shown as a familiar object instead of just a drawing. Figures include a cylinder,...

Line drawings of a circle, a cylinder, and a cone at the top of the page contain the formulae for area and volume of each shape. Learners complete the missing information in a chart that lists diameter, radius, height, and area and...

The sorting is simple here: Does this three-dimensional figure have a curved surface or not? Scholars review an example before trying this on their own with nine figures including a sphere, cylinder, prism, cube,...

In this volume and surface area activity, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the volume of an isosceles trapezoid. Then, students find the volume and total surface area of a sphere. They also...

In this volume activity, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include determining the volume in each one. First, they determine the ratio of their radius given the cubic meters of a sphere. Then, students determine the...

For this 3D shapes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 various types of problems. First, they find the radius of a cylinder described. Then, students determine the volume of a pyramid shown. In addition, they find the volume of...

Students match the following 10 shapes by drawing a line from their names to their pictures: circle, square, rectangle, cylinder, cube, sphere, oval, triangle, octagon and hexagon. This geometry worksheet provides excellent practice for...

In this smokestack worksheet, students determine the length of a stripe that winds around a cylinder shaped smokestack. This one page worksheet contains one multi-step problem. The answer is provided at the bottom of the problem.

For this geometric shape worksheet, students cut out a net pattern. Students tape or paste the net to make an open cylinder. There are no questions.

In this surface area worksheet, students are given either the diameter or radius and the height of 8 cylinders. They calculate the surface area.

In this math worksheet, students learn the shape of a cylinder by constructing a model using this net pattern. Students cut, fold and tape the pattern to make a 3D cylinder.

In this volume worksheet, young scholars examine given diagrams and then find the volume of a rectangular prism, a cylinder and a triangular prism. This one-page worksheet contains 3 problems. Answers are provided beside each problem.

Farming is full of mathematics, and it provides numerous real-world examples for young mathematicians to study. Here, we look at a cylinder-shaped storage silo that has one flat side. Given certain dimensions, students need to determine...
