Surface Area & Volume of Spheres Maze – Self-Checking Geometry Activity

A self-checking maze for high school geometry on surface area and volume of spheres. Students calculate missing values, solve for radius or diameter, and apply the formulas to real-world situations as they find their way through the maze.

What’s included

• Printable maze worksheet (20 minutes of practice)
• Answer key for quick grading or student self-checking
• Teacher tips for bell ringers, homework, stations or review
• Differentiation suggestions for support and extension

Skills covered

• Applying formulas for surface area and volume of spheres
• Solving for an unknown radius or diameter
• Estimating with π ≈ 3.14
• Connecting formulas to real-world contexts (for example, sports balls and balloons)

How to use it

Prep is low. Print and go.

The maze is good for reinforcing the formulas, for test prep, and for practice or review days. It is also an easy one to leave in sub plans, since the self-checking format keeps students accountable.
