Geometry Activity BUNDLE | 6th Grade Math | Surface Area, Volume, Nets

Looking for a way to make your geometry unit memorable, hands-on, and engaging for your math 6 students? Want to save money? Here you go! Each lesson is self-contained, and is low-prep or no-prep. This bundle includes hands on projects (math missions), math-meets-art practice worksheets (doodle math), and collaborative math games (domino effect).

What's included?

This bundle includes 7 activities + BONUS aligned to the 6th grade geometry standards.

Math Missions: Great for project based learning, often accompanied with a scenario or hands-on project.

1) The Zombie Outbreak: Graphing Points and Finding Distance on Coordinate Plane
Students help solve a viral outbreak by graphing infections as points on a coordinate plane, analyzing quadrants, and finding distance between points. Compatible with TPT Easel in addition to PDF! Print & go.

2) Surface Area and Volume of 3D Shape Nets (Whole Number and Decimals)
In this Minecraft-inspired activity, students compute surface area and volume of geometric nets, and then assemble those nets into the character, Steve! Print & go.

3) Surface Area and Volume of 3D Shape Nets (Fractions) In this Minecraft-inspired activity, students compute surface area and volume of geometric nets, and then assemble those nets into the evil and hostile villain, Creeper! Print & go.

4) Coordinate Plane Activity — Graph Polygons, Distance, Area, Volume

In this multi-standard Minecraft-inspired activity, students become treasure hunters tasks with completing missions from the ancient scroll. They will graph ordered pairs on coordinate plane to find treasure chests, find distance between points to plan out best paths, calculate area of the polygons (triangles, rectangles, parallelograms, trapezoids) to map out nine different biomes in the Minecraft world, and then calculate volume of rectangular prisms to construct their bases.

Doodle Math: Math-Meets-Art Practice Worksheets (read below for more details)

5) Area & Perimeter (Rectangles, Parallelograms + more!)
Students will practice calculating area and perimeter of rectangles, triangles, parallelograms, and composite figures. Has a heart-shaped graphic — perfect for Valentine's Day or any day. Print & go.

6) Volume of Rectangular Prisms + Triangular Prisms
Students will practice finding the volume of rectangular & triangular prisms, turning their math into art. Has a four-leaf clover and gnome graphic — perfect for St. Patrick's Day or any day. Print & go.

Domino Effect (Collaborative Group Game!)

7) Volume of Rectangular Prisms + Triangular Prisms
In this collaborative game, students in teams of 3 - 4 practice finding the volume of rectangular & triangular prisms — with each solution unlocking the next problem. Requires light prep to cut out and tape game board!

BONUS: The Adventure: Math 6 Spiral Review In this Minecraft-inspired activity, students go on an adventure and practice ratios, surface area, volume, and graphing points on a coordinate plane. Print & go.

What is Doodle Math?

Every Doodle Math activity is a print-and-go time-saver:

1. Print out the worksheet. It has a series of math problems to solve, and space for students to show their work.
2. Students solve the problems. Each answer unlocks a pattern, which students can doodle onto a template image.
3. Turn math into a masterpiece. The completed image will match the answer key once all of their answers are correct – and it's easy to spot-check from a distance.

The completed image will look best when students use markers in their choice of colors but can be completed with pencil or pen in a pinch!
