Explore the world of solid shapes in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition, interactive examples, and interesting practice questions that help with understanding.

Middle schoolers explore surface area and volume through this activity and worksheet activity.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Learn the mathematics behind modeling in three dimensions to maximize or minimize one aspect of the situation.

For this lesson, young scholars will estimate several dimensions of circles in everyday objects. Students will use the metric and customary systems for their estimations. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers...

In this lesson plan, students will be required to generate a formula for volume of a rectangular prism. Students working in cooperative groups will use prior knowledge for finding area of a rectangle to determine the "amount of area in a...

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...
