S.A. Discovery

geometry · surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms

To find the surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms [7.G.B.6].

S.A. Discovery is a Grade 7 geometry game for finding the surface area of cubes and rectangular prisms. Players draw three cards to generate length, width, and height, sketch the resulting solid, and calculate its surface area. Equal dimensions create a cube, while different dimensions create a rectangular prism, so the same turn combines classification, drawing, and calculation.

Use it for partner or small-group review when students are learning surface-area formulas and nets. Peer checking can focus on whether the correct solid was drawn as well as whether the area calculation is accurate.
