Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

Pupils work on seven problems that use equations and expressions to solve geometry problems. The questions range from finding equivalent expressions to finding areas and volumes of figures. Learners apply their knowledge of angle...

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...

Test your class, or use this 12 page math packet as chapter review. They solve 21 multiple choice problems which require them to graph linear equations, find the volume of prisms and cones, find unknown angles, and determine...

In this volume worksheet, learners solve 12 short answer and multiple choice problems. Students find the dimensions of prisms given their volume in terms of quadratic and a linear expression.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms and pyramids. The one page interactive worksheet contains eleven questions. Answers and hints are included. 

Your learners get solid practice calculating the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms with this activity. There are ten versions of the activity for their enjoyment, and yours.

Fill the minds of your young mathematicians. A hands-on activity has learners fill in a rectangular prism with unit cubes to determine its volume. the exercise provides a great hands-on way for learners to connect the activity...

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...

Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or...

Learners are given a volume of a rectangular tank and are asked to find the water height. Because the total volume of the tank is given in liters, your geometers will need to use a unit ratio to convert to centimeters cubed. The exercise...

In this volume worksheet, students 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.

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Building blocks have more uses than simply entertaining children. Young mathematicians calculate the volume of a given cube, and then calculate the volume and surface area of a prism formed from multiple cubes.

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Determine the cost of projects based on volume or surface area. Pupils work problems to determine the cost of building a brick planter and a stainless steel feeder in the 27th installment of a 28-part series. Participants must consider...
