Students will extend their knowledge of surface area and nets of rectangular prisms to generalize a formula for the surface area of any prism.

In this lesson, 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...

The purpose of this task is for students to use the volume of a rectangular prism to see why you can multiply three numbers in any order you want and still get the same result. Aligns with 5.OA.A and 5.MD.C.5.

The purpose of this third task in a series of four is to find the height of water in a rectangular prism tank when the volume is known. All units are metric. Aligns with 6.G.A.2.

What do tin foil, surface area, and rectangular prisms make? A tin foil robot of course! This lesson includes practice problems about surface area, worksheets, a video explanation, and a reflection sheet.

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

Find the volume of rectangular prisms to solve word problems. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

This task challenges students to demonstrate understanding of area, surface area and volume.

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...

Use your spatial reasoning skills to calculate the surface area when given a 3D figure. This video focuses on a right rectangular prism and shows you how unit blocks can help you visualize, then calculate the surface area. This video was...
