In this hands-on activity, students create 3-dimensional models using nets. Students are required to identify the type of prism (cube, rectangular, triangular) and find the surface area of the prism using the net. There are 8 nets included in this activity (3 cubes, 3 rectangular prisms, and 2 tri...
Last week we were learning about surface area in my three regular math classes (we did this earlier in my accelerated class). I had my accelerated students (in groups of three) make a net of a rectangular prism. They had to measure in inches or centimeters and label each edge of their net, they also labeled each face with the letters A-F). On a piece of looseleaf they had to give the area of each face and then give the surface area of the whole prism. Completed nets from my accelerated math class I had my regular math students work in their table groups (4 or 5 students per group) to figure out the surface area of the nets that my other students had made. Now this group did not do any measuring, but they got practice finding the surface area. I think the hands-on experience of finding the surface area of multiple rectangular prisms helped them to understand the process of needing to find the area of each face and then add them together to get the total surface area. They were much more enthused and engaged with this activity than they would have been just solving a worksheet with surface area problems. Perfect for Easter! :) After each group had found the surface area of four different nets (there were 10 different nets total) they then had to find the surface area of a rectangular and triangular prism that I had traced onto centimeter grid paper. Students had to label each edge with a measurement. They had to option to put the area of each face on the net, or to label each face with a letter and then write the area off to the side. They found the surface area of a rectangular and triangular prism Triangular prism Rectangular prism Students had to option to cut the net out and fold it up, but most chose not to cut it out. If I had math notebooks I may have had them cut it out and then paste it into the notebook. Students have had lots of exposure to nets as I have the following Geoshapes nets from Nasco. It is really comical to me how much 7th graders love to play with the nets. They still love anything they can get their hands on. I do with that they had a triangular prism that was not equilateral. I was really pleased with how this lesson went. In the past students really struggled with surface area. I even heard one girl who is in my math core plus intervention group say how easy this was! That's a new one.

Geometry: Triangles & Triangular Prisms Interactive Foldable Booklets - EBOOK A pivotal resource for educators needing an engaging tool for teaching crucial geometric concepts like perimeter, area, surface area, and volume of triangles as well as triangular prisms. Developed with the needs of public school teachers and homeschoolers equally in mind, this interactive booklet makes the transition from abstract principles to hands-on learning effortless. Key Characteristics: Designed For Grade Levels 4-10: This product is specifically crafted to accommodate geometric lessons for students at these grade levels. Digital Format: Spanning 8 pages in a PDF format that can easily be downloaded and printed directly from home or school printers for convenient use. Fosters Active Participation: The interactive elements of these lessons help spark student participation during both group demonstrations and one-on-one instructions. Incorporate into An Interactive Notebook or Lapbook: A versatile design component which allows learners to creatively arrange their understanding into a single compilation resource. This eBook is not just informative but also inspiring. It helps remove ambiguity around concepts such as 'distance around figures (perimeter)', 'spaces within two-dimensional shapes (area)', 'exterior coverage on three-dimensional bodies (surface area) ',and 'quantities filling up three-dimensional bodies' (volume). Through interaction with tangible items apart from plain textbook diagrams or computer visuals, children learn to perceive geometric dimensions accurately yet differently . The Geometry: Triangles & Triangular Prisms Interactive Foldable Booklets - EBOOK lays complicated geometrical concepts out plainly making them easy and fun to understand. With this tool at their disposal, learners participate actively in their learning, constructing understanding from their interaction rather than passively absorbing information.

Hands-On Surface Area & Volume of Prisms and Pyramids STEAM Project "MINI CHOCOLATE EASTER EGGS BOX". Students are taking part in a competition for the best packaging for Mini Chocolate Easter Eggs. They have to design and create a new unique box. First, students will cut out provided nets (CUBE, RECTANGULAR PRISM, TRIANGULAR PRISM, SQUARE PYRAMID, TRIANGULAR PYRAMID) and create 3D figures (by folding them) to calculate their surface areas and volumes. Then, they will analyze their calculations to make a decision about the dimensions and shape of their project, and create the most cost-effective and unique packaging (draw a sketch, create a drawing of the net, decorate it, and create a final 3D product). This resource includes: - The editable PowerPoint™ version. - The printable version in PDF. - An example of a completed project. - The Grading Rubric.

Folding Geometric ShapesFormes géométriquesPerfect for hands-on learning and illustrative teaching of the nets of 3D shapes, surface area and volume, this set of eight 2-in-1 geometric shapes shows both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional solids. Each clear plastic 3D shape contains a plastic fold-out net form. Includes cylinder, square pyramid, cube, rectangular prism, cone, hexagonal prism, triangular pyramid and triangular prism.ELG: Shape, space and measures: children use everyday language to talk about size, weight, capacity, position, distance, time and money to compare quantities and objects and to solve problems. They recognise, create and describe patterns. They explore characteristics of everyday objects and shapes and use mathematical language to describe them.NC: Geometry: Properties of Shapes
