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

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide reviews the surface area and volume of pyramids and cones.

Use this calculator to determine the volume, surface area, or other figure for a square pyramid, given the other numbers. Users set their parameters for two known variables of the pyramid and find what the unknown amounts would be.

In this task, students are given the dimensions of a soda can and are asked to estimate its thickness. They must first find the surface area and the volume of aluminum. Aligns with G-MG.A.1 and G-MG.A.2.

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 lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

To display the results from the previous activity, each student designs and constructs a mobile that contains a duplicate of his or her original box, the new cube-shaped box of the same volume, the scraps that are left over from the...

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

This activity allows the user to find the volume and surface area of various functions as they are rotated around axes. This applet can be used to practice finding integrals using the disk and washer methods of calculating volume.

Solve problems concerning real-world situations using your knowledge of volume, surface area, and density.

Use this calculator to calculate unknown variables for a cube such as a side length, face diagonal, solid diagonal, surface area, and volume.

Beehives are made of walls, each of the same size, enclosing small hexagonal cells where honey and pollen are stored and bees are raised. This problem examines some of the mathematical advantages of the hexagonal tiling in a beehive....

In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...
