Surface Area of Cubes WORKSHEET
Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems.
Surface Area of Cubes WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION
This worksheet focuses on calculating the surface area of cubes.
Section A introduces the idea of surface area using nets of cubes. Students are guided to calculate the surface area step-by-step by identifying and calculating the areas of individual faces. They then use these calculations to determine the total surface area.
Section B requires students to identify the areas of specific faces of given cubes and use their answers to compute the total surface area.
Section C expands on the earlier sections by presenting a variety of cubes and requiring students to directly calculate the surface area. It includes a mix of dimensions to challenge their ability to apply the formula accurately across different scenarios.
Section D increases complexity with problem solving questions, such as identifying and correcting errors in surface area calculations, and solving for unknown dimensions when given partial information.
