Lateral area and surface area are simple concepts, but calculating them is not as easy! Using formulas, learners calculate lateral area and surface area for the same three-dimensional figures. The resource discusses the formula variables...

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

How does the Earth continually repair itself? Explore the answer to this question, and others, with a unit on plate boundaries and interaction. Pupils classify the types of movement at plate boundaries and identify the...

Use patterns to your advantage! The Pythagorean Theorem allows learners to find missing sides of right triangles. Problems include those with both rational and irrational lengths. 

Assist your pupils and broaden their horizons with several activities that determine the exact positioning of various communities over the globe. Pupils use data from the Global Positioning System to determine the position and rate of...

How important is momentum? Pupils investigate and apply the definition of momentum as they conduct analyses during a series of one-dimensional collisions. They infer the relative masses of two objects by carefully staging and predicting...

You'll be spinning in unit circles once you read through this jumbo-sized resource of everything you need to know about trigonometry. Each page has color-coded examples with explicit directions that detail the problems and...

Explains how to calculate the volume and surface area of a cylinder using the standard formulas. Includes example problems.

Presents the formula and an example showing how to find the cross-sectional area of a cylinder. In this case, it is the same as the surface area for the circular faces.

What is a pyramid? Find a definition, example images, and formulas for finding the volume and surface area of a pyramid if given base and height measurements. Includes a very brief look at a pyramid in Egypt and its measurements.

Learn how to find the volume and surface area of a cylinder by trying interactive examples. Includes definitions and links to related topics.

Find a picture of a right circular cylinder here with the formulas for volume, total surface area, and lateral surface area. Site by MathWords.com.
