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...

All the 2-D and 3-D measurement work you need is in one location. Divided into three sections, the geometry lesson plans consist of visualization of three dimensions, classifying geometric figures, and finding surface area and volume....

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

How much plastic do manufacturers use to create water bottles each year? The class explores the number of water bottles used throughout the years to determine how many consumers will use in the future. Class members compare different...

Create a geometric playground. Pupils work through a performance task to demonstrate their ability to use geometric concepts to solve everyday problems. The accompanying engineering design lessons show teachers how the assessment works...

Equip young campers with important survival knowledge with a set of engaging lessons. Teammates work together to complete three outdoor activities, which include building a shelter, starting a campfire, and finding directions in the...

This video tutorial demonstrates how to find the formula for the surface area of a cone.

This question and answer site is about finding the area of a cone when the height and the angle at the convergence point are given. The site goes on to explain how a cone relates to a circle.

Mini-lesson takes a look at the definition and shape of a cylinder, cylinder formula, cylinder volume, and cylinder surface area. Try your hand at the cylinder surface area calculator and interactive questions for better understanding.

This question and answer site deals with the derivation of the formula for the surface area for the frustum of a right circular cone.

This site from the Math Forum defines both a circular cylinder and a right circular cylinder. Pictures of each are provided. Formulas are provided.
