VOLUME TRAILS
geometry · volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres
To solve volumes of cylinders, cones and spheres [8.G.C.9].
VOLUME TRAILS is a Grade 8 geometry puzzle for calculating volumes of cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students create a path across a 6-by-5 board, beginning on a white problem square and ending on a colored square, and solve the volume problem for every figure on the trail. Answers are kept in terms of π.
Use it for partner or small-group review when students are choosing among several solid-volume formulas in one activity. The path structure lets students make route choices while still requiring accurate work at every white square they cross.
