This unit cube activity helps students understand 3-dimensional space, visualize solids in it, and to understand the basic idea of volume. The activity allows students to easily count the number of faces, edges, and vertices of the solids. See the net of each solid (click the button 'unfold'). Drag the shape with the mouse to rotate it.

With this interactive 3-D shape explorer, you can visualize and rotate the following solids: cube, cuboid (a.k.a rectangular prism), tetrahedron, square pyramid, octahedron, triangular prism, and cylinder. Interactive 3-Dimensional Shapes (Solids) Problem solving: find the volume or surface area when either surface area or volume and some dimensions are given (for 8th/9th grade as you will need to solve an equation) Here are some more worksheets about volume and surface area (in html format).įind the volume of a prism when its dimensions are given or edge length of a cube when its volume is given (grade 5 easy)įind the volume or surface area of rectangular prisms (includes decimal numbers grades 5-6)įind the volume of a rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths (halves, thirds, and fourths the whole number part is max 5 grade 6)

These types of problems are meant for 7th-9th grade as they are more challenging and may require the use of an equation.Įach worksheet is randomly generated and thus unique. You can also make problems where the volume or surface area is given along with some dimensions, and the students need to calculate either the volume or the surface area of the prism.
