This worksheet assists students in exploring the intricacies of three-dimensional figures, such as cubes, rectangular prisms, and triangular prisms. Eight unique figures are included for students to analyze.
Teaching the surface area of three-dimensional shapes can seem complex, but it can be made simple. It involves teaching kids that surface area is the total area that the surface of an object takes up. This can be easily taught using building blocks or cubes. For example, we can explain that if a larger cube comprises of small 1 cm cubes, the surface area is the total number of small cubes you can see on the surface or outside of the larger cube.
