This Grade 7 mathematics worksheet gives students focused practice finding the surface area and volume of three-dimensional figures. Across 12 fill-in-the-blank questions, students calculate surface area and volume for prisms and cylinders, entering numerical answers rather than selecting from choices. The set includes repeated practice with both measures so students must identify which quantity each item asks for and apply the appropriate calculation. The worksheet is useful for guided practice, independent work, homework, or a quick check of students’ ability to distinguish surface area from volume. Cylinder items include decimal answers, while prism items provide additional repetition across the two measurement types. This free printable worksheet includes a complete answer key, making it practical for Grade 7 math instruction and review.

Answer KeyThis Grade 7 worksheet covers calculating the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. Its 12 fill-in-the-blank items require students to identify the requested measure and enter a numerical answer, including decimal results for cylinder calculations.
Introduce the difference between surface area and volume, then model how students choose the appropriate calculation for a prism or cylinder. As students complete the fill-in-the-blank items, ask them to explain whether each problem measures the outside faces or the space inside the solid and to show the steps behind their numerical answer.
Watch for students using a volume calculation when an item asks for surface area, or treating surface area as if it measures the space inside a solid. Students may also confuse the prism and cylinder calculations or make errors when entering and rounding the decimal answers for the cylinder items.
