Level Ups are a fun way for your students to practice or review 8th grade volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. Aligned to the common core standards, this Level Ups activity includes 5 differentiated tasks that increase in rigor.

The task cards begin with pre-requisite skills of identifying and calculating the volume of prisms, then "level up" all the way to calculating the volume of composite solids involving cylinders, cones, and spheres. Students must also apply their volume skills to real-world problems, such as filling water tanks and finding how much soda is in a 12-pack of soda cans.

Students start at level zero and work their way up to level 4, giving them accurate feedback on what they have mastered, and what they still need to work on. This lesson works as a great way to review angle relationships, or as preparation for an upcoming assessment.

This activity includes:

• Suggested activity instructions (based on how I run this in my classroom).
• Five levels with 3 - 9 questions each
• Complete answer keys for each level.

My students love "Level Up Day" in my own classroom, and the activity works great as independent practice, a pairs activity, or even group work. I also use this when I need a majority of students working independently while I pull a small group for intervention.
