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...

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Through a series of worksheets, mathematicians practice with various concepts of measurement. Conveniently, the 6 pages are easily broken up for individual assignments, and seem to progress in difficulty. Math concepts include drawing...

Third graders describe the difference between area and volume and also explain how various units of measure relate to one another.

Lead the class in a review of the basic concepts and procedures involved in measuring length, weight, and volume. After whole group instruction, small groups and individuals practice measuring by completing a variety of fun activities...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Use this geometry review worksheet to have learners complete nine problems involving transformations, area, volume, and unit conversions. They answer one multiple choice question on estimating lengths.

Students review what a cylinder is and how a cylinder is measured. They build a variety of cylinders with different heights and radii. They compare the surface area and volume of each cylinder and discuss anything that surprises them...

Your young forensic scientists add to and strengthen their measurement and conversion skills with these seven well-scaffold worksheets. Metric conversions, measuring length, area, and volume, reading thermometers, graduated cylinders,...

Weathering is not necessarily a result of the weather. Scholars conduct an experiment to explore the effect of surface area and volume on the weathering process. They create their own sugar cube rocks using the same number of cubes—but...

Save the world by designing a new soda can! Learners first measure the dimensions of a typical soda can and calculate its surface area and volume. They then use spreadsheet software to minimize the surface area for the volume, thus...

General chemistry class members engage in a mini-unit on mole conversions. Through nine lab activites with varying degrees of difficulty, they practice measuring mass and volume, molar calculations, and stoichiometry. Terrific...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems by finding the perimeter, area and volume of polygons. There are 17 questions with an answer key.

Math scholars observe and demonstrate how to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders. They analyze pictures of various cylinders on a handout, solve problems on two worksheets independently, and discuss the answers to the...

Young scholars find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and...

Learners calculate the surface area of two cubes given the length of the sides. For the other two diagrams, given the volume of the cube, they determine the measure of the sides. I like the way they move forward and backward with the...

Young scholars find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and...

In this area and volume worksheet, students find the lateral area, total area, and volume of given prisms. This two-page worksheet contains six multi-step problems. Answers to each problem are provided on page two.

Review the principles of scaling areas and draws a comparison to scaling volumes with a third dimensional measurement. The exercises continue with what happens to the volume if the dimensions are not multiplied by the same...

Similar shapes are all about the scale. Given seven problems, pupils use scale factors to determine measurements within similar shapes. While solving the problem, scholars also determine whether two figures are similar and use...

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.

Students identify the effect the change of dimensions causes for the volume and surface area. In this geometry lesson, students compare perimeter, area and volume as they play around with the dimensions of the polygons. They discuss...

Students are introduced to the notion of surface area and volume. Students review surface area and volume by finding the area of a two-dimensional shape. They practice using the computer to create different surface area shapes.
