Post-EOG activities: Student products: In this project, students will become entrepreneurs. They will have a business that makes items with 3-dimensional shapes. They will receive various tasks that will require that they make decisions as any other business owner would have to do.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Geneva Williams.

Juicy Juice Box: Students will be able to use their knowledge of volume and surface area through this fun, hands-on activity.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7 Mathematics); By Sheila Martin.

Area of solids: Finding area of rectangular solids and cylinders by cutting them into flat pieces and adding the areas.; Format: lesson plan (grade 7–12 Mathematics); By Dorothy Carawan.

Discovering the area formula for circles: In this lesson, one of a multi-part unit from Illuminations, students use a circle that has been divided into congruent sectors to discover the area formula by using their knowledge of parallelograms. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Cylinders and scale: In this lesson, students learn about the extreme limits of scale. This lesson is designed to build upon students' ability to build structures and to learn about mathematical and engineering relationships like length, area, and volume. Once students have...

Cubes everywhere: In this Illuminations lesson, students use cubes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. (Learn more); Format: lesson plan (grade 6–8 Mathematics); Provided by: National Council of Teachers of Mathematics

Collecting the rays: In this lesson, students explore how variations in solar collectors affect the energy absorbed. They make rectangular prisms that have the same volume but different linear dimensions. Students investigate relationships among the linear dimensions, the area,...
