Surface Area and Volume Review Centers
By Kellie Johnston
Objective: Given the review worksheet, or the objects, students will calculate
Surface Area and Volume of 8 objects.
When completing these centers, you can either use the worksheet, and add in
your own dimensions, or compile the objects and have the students actually
measure the dimensions. I like to use the objects, because the students
understand where the measurements are coming from and know which is the
height, length, width, diameter, etc…
Formulas the students should know before completing this activity (or they can be
given to the students)
SA= the sum of areas of all the faces
V = Area of Base ∙ Height
Volume of a rectangular prism = l ∙ w ∙ h
Volume of a triangular prism =

∙b∙h∙H
2
Volume of a Cylinder =  ∙ r2 ∙ h
1
 ∙ r2 ∙ h
