The 26th part of a 28-part series requires pupils to determine whether the answer to a problem requires surface area or volume. The class works problems about fish tanks that prompt individuals to decide, based on the question, which...

Most objects have irregular dimensions — you have to find them! Teach your class how to find the volume of composite objects that can be decomposed into prisms. Objects get increasingly more complex as the lesson progresses.

In this finding volume practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Children use the length, width, and height of an object to calculate the volume of a rectangular prism. They observe how to multiply three numbers at a time, and define volume. Pupils observe as the teacher demonstrates how to determine...

Young scholars find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped...

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.

Use this volume of solids instructional activity to have learners find the surface area and volume of cylinders, pyramids, and prisms. They place cubes inside three-dimensional figures to determine the volume. Worksheets and answers are...

Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.

In this formula worksheet, students complete a graphic organizer, answering the questions relating to: understand, plan, solve, look back. Students solve 2 problems. Houghton Mifflin test is referenced.

In this perimeter of shapes instructional activity, 10th graders find the perimeter of the shapes illustrated. Then, they find the volume of each shape shown. Students also match the shape with its correct name on the left and find the...

For this volume worksheet, students find the volume of 6 solids.  Students find the volume of rectangular and triangular prisms.

Young mathematicians examine area of different figures with the same cross-sectional lengths and work up to volumes of 3D figures with the same cross-sectional areas. The instruction and the exercises stress that the two...

Surface area or volume? Pupils first review the difference between surface area and volume. They then use a two-dimensional net that helps them develop formulas for the surface area and volume of cylinders.

In this volume worksheet, students observe diagrams and extrapolate the correct items to plug into a formula for volume. They find the volume of triangular prisms, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms, and rectangular pyramids. Four of...

In this volume of prisms worksheet, students compute the volume of nine shapes. Answers are given on the page, students are directed to show formulas and computations. The worksheet contains two each of rectangular prisms, cylinders, and...

Apply volume and area formulas to find the volume of any right prism. The 26th lesson of a 29-part module examines methods for finding the volume of right prisms with varying shapes of bases. Learners use the formula V = Bh to find...

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...

How long does it take to fill a typical swimming pool? Prepare your pupils to answer similar questions using the 28th lesson in the 29-part module. The engaging lesson asks individuals to solve problems connected to the flow rate. All...

Five questions make up an interactive designed to boosts knowledge of area and volume of solid figures. Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and fill-in-the-blank. A scale model changes measurement to provide a visual...

Who knew there were pyramids in China? Learners apply surface area and volume formulas to several different real-world situations. They calculate the volume and surface area of an aquarium, an ice cream cone, and Egyptian and Chinese...

A fabulous four-page assignment explores volume formulae for rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids. Pupils apply the formulas to solve problems, match diagrams to values, and address real-world scenarios. A detailed answer...

Young scholars build nets of three-dimensional prisms based on the dimensions they are given for hexagonal prism, triangular prism, rectangular prism. Working in groups, they use their prisms and calculate the Surface Area and Lateral Area.

Don't stuff money under your mattress. To find out why learners first complete a task determining how $24,000 in cash would affect the height of a mattress and whether this same amount would fit into a suitcase of given dimensions....
