Texas Instruments: Direct Variation With Powers: Surface Area and Volume

In this surface area and volume instructional activity, 10th graders identify and complete 3 different problems that include determining the surface area and volume of cubes. First, they use their ruler to find the width and height of...

Learners draw the given shapes to be bigger than they are and find the surface area and volume of each shape. They complete this for two shapes.

Surface area is the sum of the parts. Given the measurements of different prisms, pupils determine their surface areas. Individuals find the area of each surface and figure out the surface area by finding the sum. The video, part of a...

Round out the unit by investigating spheres. The fifth of six parts in the Geometry - Surface Area and Volume unit has pupils learn how to calculate both quantities for spheres. They watch as the narrator of an instructional video works...

Increase pupil understanding of formulas as they apply surface area and volume calculations to determine ratios of different prism sizes. The examples include both a cube and rectangular prism. 

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.

Given a problem involving spheres, the student will find the surface area and volume.

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

This is an interactive site that enables the viewer to input different measurements in order to learn about surface area and volume for a rectangular prism and a triangular prism.

Whether you wrap it or fill it, you're using geometric concepts. Classmates use an interactive approach to learn how to find volume and surface area of cylinders and prisms in the second lesson in a five-part series. The online lesson...
