This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

An interactive game to find number of edges, surfaces and vertices of different geometric shapes.

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson plan, 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...

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...

In this instructional activity, 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...

Get your spy glasses ready! In this weeklong adventure, children will explore shapes and their attributes and use this knowledge to decode a secret message. Children will learn about two-dimensional (flat) and three-dimensional (solid)...

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this instructional activity, students build geometric models of graduation caps using stiff paper. The activity requires the application of skills in finding surface area, understanding similarity,...

This site gives formulas for the area, volume, and surface area of various shapes.
