In this exercise, students practice finding volume. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

This question and answer site discusses whether it is possible to have a retangular prism that has a volume greater than its surface area.

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...

For this task, 8th graders must determine the optimal dimensions of a cardboard box that will hold six cylinders of oats. To do this, they need to make surface area and volume calculations. Aligns with 8.G.C.9.

Use this online calculator to calculate the volume of geometric solids including a capsule, cone, frustum, cube, cylinder, hemisphere, pyramid, rectangular prism, sphere, and spherical cap.

This site defines what a prism is and gives formulas for surface area and volume. Contains related links.

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

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...

In this activity, students learn to calculate volume of a sphere and a rectangular prism. They explore methods of determining how many volleyballs can be placed in a room.

During this activity, middle schoolers will create nets for prisms. They will find the volume and surface area of the shapes. They will also use interactive activities to review three-dimensional shapes.This lesson plan was created as a...
