Teaching tips & learning objectives
Teaching tips
Slot the sheet into math notebooks or homework folders as a formula reference during a volume unit
Cover the formula column and quiz students on properties — the faces/vertices/edges columns make a ready recall game
Note the British term 'cuboid' for rectangular prism if your curriculum uses US terminology
Skills covered
Volume formula reference — students look up the correct formula, from lwh for a cuboid to ⁴⁄₃πr³ for a sphere, while solving problems.
Solid-figure properties — the table pairs each shape with its face, vertex, and edge counts, including prism and pyramid cases.
Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
Which shapes and formulas does the sheet cover?
Eight solids in one table: cube (l³), cuboid (lwh), triangular prism (½bhl), pentagonal prism (cross-section area × length), cylinder (πr²h), square-based pyramid (⅓ × base area × height), cone (⅓πr²h), and sphere (⁴⁄₃πr³) — each with its face, vertex, and edge counts.
