This resource is a great way to challenge students and have them think 3-dimensionally. To implement this activity copy this sheet multiple times on 3 different colored papers. Have the students cut the paper into 2x10 strips. They should be able to take one strip of each color and fold them into a completely closed and contained 2x2x2 cube with opposite faces having the same color. I would highly suggest doing it yourself first. (Compliments of Ms. Fran Lesco) Email either Lanzarone or Lesco if you have questions about this!

Page 101 asks the students to create a chart and graph the relation between the number of cubes and the surface area of figures. This is merely a blank chart and graph paper. (Compliments of Ms. Fran Lesco)

Here's a resource for finding the area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles. Decently advanced: some questions ask for the base or height when given the area and the other dimensions.

Here's a resource for practicing finding the volume of prisms and cylinders
