Use these diagnostic tasks, Volume of prisms (1) and Volume of prisms (2), to assess a student’s understanding of working out the volume of rectangular prisms and a formula for volume.
Use this diagnostic task to assess what students know about volume and units to measure and compare volumes.
This comprehensive resource describes the progression of measurement ideas. The resource demonstrates examples of relevant teaching strategies, investigations, activity plans and connected concepts in measurement including teaching and cultural implications.
This planning resource for Year 7 is for the topic of Volume and surface area. Students become familiar with the concepts of volume and surface area. They understand that volume is the amount of space occupied by a three-dimensional (3D) object and is measured in cubic units.
This planning resource for Year 7 is for the topic of Area and perimeter. Students should be familiar with the concept of area and how to find the area of a rectangle. They will extend this knowledge to find the formulas for the areas of other shapes, such as a parallelogram and triangles.
Use this video as a springboard to explore volume of composite shapes, adjusting numbers to make calculations friendlier and draw on reasoning and mathematical modelling.
Examine the relationships between capacities of various containers. Look at three containers that may have different diameters, heights and shapes. Fill a container and squirt liquids between the containers to establish the proportional relationship. Work out the third 'unlinked' relationship from two known relationships. ...
This is an interactive resource about investigating the surface areas and volumes of rectangular and triangular prisms. The resource can be used in one of two modes. In the Explore mode, the student can vary the height, width and depth of the prism, and the surface area and volume are calculated automatically. In the Compute ...
Bees are necessary for assisting many plants to produce the food we eat, including meat and milk. Colony collapse disorder, which describes the disappearance of beehives, could have catastrophic effects on food production. Australian scientists are applying their maths and science knowledge to build up a picture of a healthy ...
There is a saying: 'climate is what you expect and weather is what you get'. |Understanding climate change is very difficult for most people, especially when the weather we experience is different from the information we are given by scientists about the climate changing. The difference is that weather reflects short-term ...
Wicking beds are a fantastic invention, allowing crops to be watered more efficiently. Making a large wicking bed does involve a few steps and some preparation, however the benefits of this extra effort are water conservation, improved plant growth and better crops. The design of the wicking bed also provides opportunities ...
This is a 16-page guide for teachers. It provides an introduction to the initial ideas of measurement, and introduces the measurement of length, area, volume and time.
This is a Geogebra activity used to teach the area of a parallelogram. Suitable for use with an interactive whiteboard (IWB).
These illustrated information sheets revise ideas about perimeter and area of plane shapes including triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, trapeziums and some compound shapes. Examples with answers are included and students have access to test questions to assess their learning. This resource is one of a series of online ...
An animated tutorial demonstrating the application of Pythagoras' theorem through some worked examples, followed by a interactive quiz.
This is a website designed for both teachers and students that refers to the drawing of solids from the Australian Curriculum for year 7 students. It contains material on cross-sections of prisms and includes information regarding views, elevations and isometric drawings. There are pages for both teachers and students. ...
A 2D Shapes tool that can be used to create geometric objects such as quadrilaterals, circles, triangles, lines, arcs, rays, segments and vectors on a coordinate grid. Plot and label the vertices to reveal the internal angles, side lengths, area and perimeter, then manipulate the shapes on a grid to transform their shape ...
A student resource that explores the use of mathematics in the trades. Highly interactive investigations into ratio, areas of special quadrilaterals and right-angled trigonometry.
This is a Geogebra activity used to teach the area of a triangle. Suitable for use with an interactive whiteboard (IWB).
An interactive simulation in which students use Pythagoras' theorem can be used to find distances.
