Description
Help your 7th grade math students practice calculating the volume of pyramids with this self-checking digital pixel art activity. Students calculate the volume of square-based and triangular-based pyramids using the pyramid volume formula.There are two different sheets to allow you to assign this as a self-checking activity OR an assessment.
Your students will love this mystery picture pixel art activity! This is an engaging activity for your students that requires no prep from you. Students will love guessing what the picture will be!
This activity is a great way to reinforce how to calculate the volume of pyramids while keeping students motivated with instant feedback.
How It Works:
Students calculate the volume of each pyramid and enter their answers. Correct answers reveal portions of the pixel art image, while incorrect answers reveal nothing, prompting students to revisit their calculations.
Two versions are included:
-
A self-checking version for practice and review
-
An assessment version without visual feedback
Here is what’s included:
➡️ 10 self-checking problems
➡️ Answer key
➡️ 2 different sheets – a self-checking and an assessment
➡️ Teacher instructions
Why Teachers Love It:
This activity is self-checking, meaning students instantly know if their answers are correct. The pixel art image gradually appears as they solve problems, keeping students focused while practicing an essential geometry skill.
It also reduces grading time and allows students to work independently.
This pixel art activity will work for both Google Sheets and Microsoft Excel!
MICROSOFT NOTE: Once downloaded to excel, the problem pictures may be distorted based on the device and screen size. After you purchase and download this activity, you can adjust the size of the problem pictures to fit in the boxes before giving it to students.
TIP: Be sure to give your students a copy where they CANNOT edit your original. Be sure to delete the answers before sharing with your students. This will make the picture disappear.
