Surface Area of Cylinders Worksheet or Mini Breakout

Students will find the total surface area of cylinders.

Teacher Directions

This activity can be administered several different ways to fit your specific classroom needs. This can be given as individual work, or as group work in order to work cooperatively. I administer this in my classroom as a mini breakout box. For a longer breakout, see my store for the second part titled, “Composite Prism Challenge.”

Breakout Box Directions:

Place a lockbox somewhere in the room with a reward inside. Rewards can be candy, class coupons, extra credit- whatever you can think of that will motivate your students. Lock all this up with a 4 letter lock with the combination code DORI. After students answer all questions and follow the directions, the code will be revealed to them.
