Spheres and Cones
Class members learn how to apply formulas for spheres and cones with a video that begins with a review of the formulas for surface area and volume of spheres and cones. Pupils use these formulas to solve problems on a worksheet.
Curated OER
Volume and Surface Area
Students explore volume and surface area. In this math instructional activity, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Students discuss area.

Volume of a Snow Cone
Learners find the volume of a snow cone. They divide the snow cone into known sections, and find the are of each part. Pupils must read the scale on the snow cone, prior to plugging into the formula for its volume.
Curated OER
Volume of Cylinders and Cones
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...

Volume Worksheet I
In this volume worksheet, students recognize three-dimensional figures, identify the proper volume formula, and then solve the equation by inserting information from a diagram into the formula. Students solve six equations.
Curated OER
Volume of Rectangular Prisms
Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...
