For this project, students create a station.. They are assigned a 3D figure (cylinder, cone, prisms, pyramids, sphere, etc). They must create a station that teaches the parts of the figure and how to find the surface area, lateral area, and volume of the figure. Then students visit each station created and have a quiz on all the stations.

Measuring Surface Area -- Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom. 

This is a mini lesson on Surface Area.  My students use the Desmos calculator.  It's much easier for my SPED students to put the formula in the calculator.  They are pleased with the accuracy of their work.  

This is a google slides mini lesson on surface area of a cylinder.  The first slide consists of a definition for surface area of a cylinder, what unit surface area is measured in and the formula for surface area.  Students will discuss the difference between surface area and volume.  Surface area covers the outside of the cylinder and volume fills up the inside.  Students will use the formula to solve problems on the slides.  Then, they will make a text box and type their answers to complete the slides.
