Volume and Surface Area of Rectangular Prisms

Students can practice their positive powers of ten in this worksheet, in which they are given 10 numbers to divide by a set of multiples in the format x, x0, x00, x000, x0,000. A challenge question is available to further test your...

Wrap up a lesson on surface area with a resource that asks scholars to use the idea of wrapping paper to investigate surface area. They draw representations of rectangular prisms on graph paper to find the areas of the respective...

A change is coming. Pupils use unit cubes to investigate how changes in the length, width, and/or height affects volume and surface area. They extend the results to write and test predictions on the effect of changing multiple sides on...

Fill the minds of your young mathematicians. A hands-on activity has learners fill in a rectangular prism with unit cubes to determine its volume. the exercise provides a great hands-on way for learners to connect the activity...

Used as a review activity or as a math drill, this learning exercise can help students to further practice dividing by powers of ten. Students are given 10 numbers that they are to divide by given multiples in the format x, x0, x00,...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of how to find the volume of rectangular prisms. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers answer ten mutliple choice questions by applying the formulas for finding the area, perimeter, and volume of a rectangular prism.

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...
