Students will practice solving application problems with volume and surface area with these 20 task cards. This activity includes prisms (rectangular, triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, octagonal), pyramids (square based and triangular based), cylinders, cones, and spheres. Cards 7, 10, and 13 require using the apothem to find the area of a regular polygon. However, I included a second version in which I changed these cards to not require use of the apothem. This is a more challenging activity that is meant for a high school level geometry class.
A worksheet is included for students to record their answers. They can check their answers by scanning the QR code on each card. Connection to the internet is not required to scan the code. However, a QR scanner app is required on the device. There are several free apps available to download.
If you haven’t used QR codes in your classroom yet, I highly recommend them! Students love using the technology, and the self-checking makes it easier on the teacher!
