Topic: Volume
Cubes
Investigate finding the volume of a prism.
“Fill a box with cubes, rows of cubes, or layers of cubes. The number of unit cubes needed to fill the entire box is known as the volume of the box.”
Interactivate: Surface Area and Volume
Investigate and calculate volume and surface area for rectangular and triangular prisms.
Interactives Geometry 3D Shapes
Geometry 3-D Shapes is an interactive Web site where students can learn about three-dimensional shapes, calculate surface area and volume, and discover some of the mathematical properties of shapes.
Isometric Drawing Tool
Use this interactive tool to create dynamic drawings on isometric dot paper. Draw figures using edges, faces, or cubes. You can shift, rotate, color, decompose, and view in 2D or 3D.
Isometric Shape Draw
This resource has four isometric shapes, each made up of 4 cubic units. Each shape can be rotated, and there’s a grid below the shape for drawing the shape.
Paper Models of Polyhedra
Polyhedra are beautiful 3-D geometrical figures that have fascinated philosophers, mathematicians and artists for millennia. On this site are a few hundred paper models available for free.
Volume of Geometric Solids
Investigate the relationship for the volume of various solids. For example it takes three square pyramids to fill the cube.
