Surface Area of Prisms and Pyramids using Nets | Hands on Activity
This product will help your kinesthetic learners make connections as they experience calculating total surface area and lateral surface area with this hands on activity. Students work in partners to determine the names of the shapes when the nets are constructed, measure the nets themselves (to the nearest half centimeter), and then calculate both the total and the lateral surface area. I have personally used this in class, even one year during a formal observation! I loved how it required my
