Two-dimensional representations of three-dimensional objects are used to solve problems involving volume and surface area. Pupils utilize orthographic maps to model properties of geometric figures. This high-quality lesson presents...

The measurements are all in the can. The review for the math portion of the General Certificate of Secondary Education assessments provides scholars the opportunity to review finding volume and surface area of a cylinder. Pupils work on...

Which does the problem require, surface area or volume? Learners solve problems relating to surface area or volume of rectangular prisms. The problems require pupils to determine which calculations to perform to answer the question. 

The class makes the connection between finding the area of a right prism and a right pyramid in the 23rd installment in a series of 28. The pupils find the surface area of figures created by stacked cubes and prisms with cutouts.

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

Combine the pieces of a three-dimensional solid to find the total surface area. The concept video introduces the formula for finding the surface area of a cylinder. The instructor then applies the formula to various examples, each...

With all those sides, finding surface area can confusing. This video uses color-coded visuals to show the measurements of each side before adding them all together. Show your mathematicians that wrapping a gift requires surface area to...

Learners draw the given shapes to be bigger than they are and find the surface area and volume of each shape. They complete this for two shapes.

Paint, wrapping paper, frosting—so many applications of surface area. The video provides an explanation of the surface area formula and how to apply it to regular pyramids. 

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...

Build boxes using unit cubes to compare surface area and volume. The group performs multiple experiments to determine properties of volume, such as if it makes a difference which order the dimensions are multiplied in. Extensive...

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Lateral area and surface area are simple concepts, but calculating them is not as easy! Using formulas, learners calculate lateral area and surface area for the same three-dimensional figures. The resource discusses the formula variables...

Explore finding surface area of composite figures. Building from the previous lessons in the 29-part series, the 24th installment examines surface area of three-dimensional solids. The focus is on decomposing composite figures and...

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 make individuals decide based on the question which...

Figure out what it will take to cover up. The 18th part of a 22-part series presents nets as a way to determine surface area. Pupils determine the measurements of the portions of the nets before calculating the area of each portion and...
