In this volume worksheet, students are given the equations for finding the volume of a cube and the volume of a prism. They solve two multi-part problems finding the volumes of different solids.

What happens to a volume when you scale the dimensions of a rectangular prism? In this problem, a box of clay is increased in each dimension, with the intent to see if learners can generalize the result. The addition of...

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....

Turn your pupils into engineers who are able to use scientific principals to design a ship. This long-term project expects pupils to understand concepts of density, buoyancy, displacement, and metacenter, and apply them to constructing a...

Tenth graders define the formula for cylinders and use it to solve real world problems. In this geometry lesson, pupils differentiate between area, perimeters, 2D shapes, 3D shapes, and volume of prisms, cylinders and spheres. They...

In this volume worksheet, learners solve 12 short answer and multiple choice problems. Students find the dimensions of prisms given their volume in terms of quadratic and a linear expression.

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine the...

So a cylinder does not have to look like a can? By expanding upon the precise definition of a rectangular prism, the activity develops the definition of a general cylinder. Scholars continue on to develop a graphical organizer...

Connect functions to geometry. In the ninth installment of a 12-part module, young mathematicians create functions by investigating situations in geometry. They look at both area and volume of figures to complete a well-rounded lesson.

In this surface area and volume of prisms instructional activity, students identify the requested measurement of each of 10 geometric shapes. The first two shapes are rectangular prisms, students tell surface area and volume. The next...

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...

In this volume worksheet, students solve twenty volume of various solids problems.  The solids examined include: cylinders, cubes, rectangular prism, including how the volumes of these figures change with increased in length. ...

Once your geometers know how to apply the formula V = l w h, they will be ready to take on the fractional volume of a fish tank. Have your number crunchers swap heights so they can see that the fractional volume will not change. 

In this geometry worksheet, students draw and calculate the volume of a cube from the given side length measured in metric or customary. There are 8 questions with provided workspace.

Build foundational knowledge of volume by building boxes. Given dimensions for a piece of grid paper, young mathematicians determine the number of possible open-top boxes it will make. As part of this task, they also find the box with...

Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...

Optimally, you want the largest box. Given a square piece of box material, pupils determine the size of congruent squares to cut out of the corners to create a box with the greatest volume. Learners determine the equation of the volume...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...

Sixth graders investigate surface area.  In this surface area lesson, 6th graders design a box of candy that has a volume of 30 cubic inches.  Students are trying to minimize surface area while keeping volume constant. ...

In this volume learning exercise, 6th graders solve 5 different problems related to determining the volume of various objects. They determine the volume of a rectangular prism, a cone, a cube, a pyramid, and a cylinder.

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

In this solids worksheet, learners compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

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...

Learners explore perimeter, area and volume. Using geoboards, toothpicks, and marshmallows, students create specific shapes. They are directed to use formulas to find the volume, area, and perimeter of the created shapes. In groups,...
