Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

So a cylinder does not have to look like a can? By expanding upon the precise definition of a rectangular prism, the instructional activity develops the definition of a general cylinder. Scholars continue on to develop a...

In a two-part worksheet, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals explore...

An excellent resource for a geometry class, as well as for an electrical engineering course. A thorough reference sheet covers geometric shapes such as triangles, parallelograms, and circles, as well as 3-D shapes and the Pythagorean...

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

In this volume of solids worksheet, tenth graders solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they write the formula needed to find the volume of each solid. Then, pupils use the Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of the...

Everyone loves popcorn! Use this treat to teach math concepts including place value, estimating, graphing, and volume. Eight possible activities are included, and they can be modified to fit all grade levels. 

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. They measure the height, radius and diameter of cylinders. Following given formulas, students calculate the area and volume of the cylinder. They compare cylinders and predict...

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. For this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their...

In this math study guide, students solve problems previously studied throughout the school year. Problems include, but are not limited to, volume, area, perimeter, square roots, binomials, trinomials, graphing, and consumer math. This...

In this maximum and minimum activity, students solve and complete 10 various types of word problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of the square of one of the numbers with the cube of the other number is to be a maximum....

For this volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include determining the volume in each one. First, they determine the ratio of their radius given the cubic meters of a sphere. Then, students determine the...

In this volume learning exercise, students observe diagrams and extrapolate the correct items to plug into a formula for volume. They find the volume of triangular prisms, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms, and rectangular pyramids. ...

Students calculate the surface area of rectangular prisms, cylinders, and square pyramids. In this surface area lesson, the teacher demonstrates how to find the surface area of these figures and provides students with a formula chart....

Students observe washers of different weights roll downhill and observe what happens and what rate each of them travels. In this rate of travel lesson plan, students see the cylinders and discuss what happened after the race.

In this math net worksheet, students cut out, fold, and assemble a closed cylinder. Students use the net provided to make the three dimensional figure.

Calculate the volume of 3D shapes by having your students use provided formulas to measure the volume of cylinders, square pyramids, and rectangular prisms. Using a lecture format, with demonstrations, you will walk your class through...

In this squares activity, 10th graders solve and complete 7 various types of problems. First, they divide a product of one with a square of the other. Then, students find the dimensions of a rectangle that will maximize the area. In...

For this functions worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they find the largest value of a given function. Then, students determine the values of the constants a, b, c, dso that the curve is a...

Students conduct experiments in gravity by rolling objects down an incline and determining which ones roll slower than others. As part of the experiment, they design objects which will roll the slowest. Using digital movie cameras or...

Fourth graders find the volume of cubes and cylinders. To determine volume, they fill large cubes with centimeter cubes. They discuss the formula used to find the volume of a cube. Students explore why the solution to the volume of a...
