Side lengths can be fractions and mixed numbers. Recognize volume as an attribute of a solid figure. Use standard units of measurement cubic cm, cubic in, cubic ft, and any unit that the problem presents. The formula for volume can be derived as length times width times height, or the area of the base times the height. Find volume or any of the edges by manipulating the formula for volume to find the other.
Find the total volume of solid figures composed of two or more triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms. Find the surface area of two- and three-dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.
A prism is a three-dimensional figure with a connection of two parallel planes with a polygon base. Short Stories. Foreign Language. All 'Foreign Language'. Back to School. Earth Day. End of Year.

So, I focus just on surface area, and then we work on volume , careful to express the differences between them. This post is all about ways to teach and practice finding surface area.

Kids love this surface area coloring activity. This activity features two coloring pages: a page of rectangular shapes and a page of triangular shapes. This works as a great practice for finding surface area on paper from a drawing. I have students complete their work on a whiteboard and have them check their work with me after each question until it is obvious that they get it. One way to make checking a bit faster is to have them color their answer choice, quickly visually check it, and then let students color in their picture.
Some kids want to do all of the work without writing anything down and they really need to write down the steps. At the end of the activity students all have a funky looking penguin and a better understanding of solving for surface area. As a teacher it gives you a great opportunity to see what the misconceptions are among your students. The biggest mistakes that my students make include not adding everything together and finding volume instead of surface area.
These two surface area mazes get students engaged in their math practice. For some reason, students are so much more willing and get so much more practice when problems are presented in a maze instead of a traditional worksheet. The added challenge of finding the right path to the finish line keeps students more engaged.
Using these two mazes, students solve a variety of surface area problems with rectangular and triangular prisms. Problems include a mix of drawn shapes, dimensions given, and surface area situations in words. Want even more fun game ideas and easy to use math resources?

Sign me up for the Maze of the Month Club! When it comes time to review before a test, we often use this surface area knockout game in my classroom. It consists of an interactive PowerPoint presentation and some review questions.
Students keep track of their own points as we play. This part of the game really gets kids laughing. This particular game goes from finding area, to recognizing nets, to calculating surface area of prisms and pyramids.
It takes about minutes to complete and works perfectly for the day before a test. Students are engaged and they kind of forget that they are practicing math.
A lot of the students that I work with need a review of nets before they start working on surface area. I love partner activities, and this nets matching game is perfect for partners. It gives students a great chance to talk about the shapes and reinforce vocabulary. Each work mat has a figure represented in three ways: name, net, and picture. Students can work through this fairly quickly.
You could use it as a short review at the beginning of class for several days in a row. Task cards have become a staple activity in my class.
