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...

Unlike a volcano, the lesson won't blow up in your face. Young mathematicians use dried beans to discover the relationship between the volumes of cones and cylinders and to write a formula for the volume of a cone. They then research...

Cakes offer a yummy way to learn about math. Scholars use manipulatives to discover the formulas for the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. They use their formulas to calculate the amount of cake mix and frosting necessary...

Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

Model good modeling practices. Young mathematicians first learn about cross sections and solids of revolution. They then turn their attention to special right triangles and to the Laws of Sine and Cosine.

Given a problem involving composite figures made from prisms, pyramids, spheres, cones, and/or cylinders, the student will find the surface area and volume of the composite figure.

This resource has three sets of problems. Each set has six questions for finding volumes of solid figures. Select a problem set, then select a question. Fill in the blank with the correct answer for each problem. When you have answered...

The geometry resource investigates the volume of pyramids and cones. Formulas, examples, and practice exercises are included.

The geometry resource investigates the volume of prisms and cylinders. Formulas, examples, and practice exercises are included.

Use the volume of a cylinder in order to derive the formula for the volume of a sphere. Check understanding with a quiz.

Find volume of 3-dimensional figures by counting unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Accessible by TX Educators. Free Registration/Login Required] The student will use models to develop formulas and connect them to the volume of prisms, spheres, cylinders, pyramids, and cones.

Find the volume of irregular 3D figures made up of unit cubes by dividing the figures into rectangular prisms and finding the volume of each part. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly,...

Recognize volume as an attribute of solid figures and understand concepts of volume measurement. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Find the heights of cylinders given the volume of the cylinder and one other dimension. Students can practice this concept by watching a video, studying notes,...

Discover the characteristics of 3D shapes in this fantasy world of fish.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Find a pyramid's volume and surface area.

This site provides great practice on the concept of volume. Students can first learn about the topic by watching a step by step instruction video that also points out areas of concern. Finally, students can practice their knowledge by...

Find out how to find the volume of a prism, and follow up with some practice problems.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students will find the heights of cylinders given surface area and one other dimension. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

This lesson introduces the units of distance (cubed units) used to describe volume. Students watch a video tutorial and then can take an online quiz.

This site gives formulas for the area, volume, and surface area of various shapes.

Compare a prism and a cylinder in order to determine the similarities of calculating the volume.
