Can you create a student worksheet that contains this content please Volume & Surface Area Standard: 7.G.B.6 Time: 50 minutes Objective Students distinguish between volume and surface area and solve real-world problems. Bellringer (0–5 min) Triangle base 10, height 6. Answer: 30. Hook (5–10 min) Show cereal box. Ask: “If I wrap it?” → Surface area “If I fill it?” → Volume I DO (10–20 min) Write: V = lwh SA = 2lw + 2lh + 2wh Model: 5 × 4 × 3 Volume = 60 Surface Area: 2(20) + 2(15) +...

This learning resource focuses on distinguishing between volume and surface area, particularly in the context of rectangular prisms. Students will learn how to calculate both properties by using formulas and applying them to real-world scenarios. Key topics include understanding the meaning of volume (the space inside the prism) versus surface area (the area covering the outside). The document provides worked examples, guided practices, independent problems, and real-world application examples to reinforce the concepts. Students will also reflect on how changes in dimensions affect volume and surface area differently, culminating in an exit ticket that further assesses their understanding of these concepts.
