Measurement of 3D Objects - Task Cards and UNIQUE Activity {Common Core}

This 20 Task Card resource is very unique. It can be utilized in a clue gathering, puzzle solving, highly active and engaging activity for those learning about solving 3D Object Measurement Problems including Volume, Surface Area and Side Length by various methods or as an alternative to worksheet review for older students. What I love to do is have the kids go through the activity for the first half or two thirds of our review period then spend the remainder of the time reviewing the questions as a class on the overhead projector. Do you use Math Workshops in your class? These would be perfect! Includes many word problems.

Buyer Comments: "I used the free version about area and perimeter as the first review before a unit test. My geometry classes loved it. Some students spontaineously asked for more of this type of activity. So I purchased this one to use on Monday. It looks great. Probably a two day activity for my students."

"I love the variety of challenging problems!"

"Thank you. I love the added part of the words with the answers. I can not wait to use these this year. Thank you for doing middle and high school task cards. "

"A great review game option!"

"I love the real-world examples included in this resource! Thanks :)"

Overview:

1) Task card review game - lots of fun!

- Students are placed in groups of two and have to work their way through the task cards. Each task card answer leads the student to a clue (a word).

- Once the group has completed each task card they will have enough clues to solve the puzzle.

- Once the group has solved the puzzle, they are the winner.
