Description

This Surface Area Cut and Paste is a great way to show the connection between the 3d figure, the net, and the surface area.  Students will calculate the surface area of rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, rectangular pyramids, triangular pyramids.

This activity is great for extra practice, as a station or center, and can be used to add variety to homework or independent work. Students can be hands-on, while still applying their understanding of surface area of 3d figures.

Students are able to practice and apply concepts with this surface area activity, while collaborating and having fun! Math can be fun and interactive!

Standards: CCSS (6.G.4, 7.G.6) and TEKS (7.9D)

More details on what is included:

22 ready-to-print 3D figure, nets, and solution cards that can be utilized in pairs or groups of 3-4 and any necessary recording sheets and answer keys.
