- 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.
- Building a paper bridge: An introduction to problem solving
- This activity allows the student to explore problem solving strategies while working with a partner. This activity (building a paper bridge), requires students to question word definition and the application of those definitions. Through problem solving strategies, students discover the need for applying math skills.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 8 Mathematics)

- Giving meaning to volume and surface area
- This lesson is designed to help students give meaning to volume and surface area by solving problems using a meaningful situation rather than formulas.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 7–8 Mathematics)
- By Grayson Wheatley.
- Inside, outside, and all around
- Students will distinguish between perimeter, area, and volume. They will use tangrams and graph paper to create two-dimensional figures that will be measured for area and perimeter. By creating layers of centimeter cubes, the students will explore the concept of volume.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 4–6 Mathematics)
- By Angeli Jarman.
- Investigating surface area
- This is a hands on lesson best used to introduce geometry students to 3-dimensional figures. Students will have the opportunity to draw 3-dimensionally and create collapsible figures which can be used to develop the standard surface area formulas.
