Use this activity on cross-sections of three-dimensional shapes in your math class to work on algebra or geometry Common Core standards. The lesson includes a list of relevent terminology, and a step-by-step process to illustrate the concepts with styrofoam cones and two-dimensional graphs. It also provides a link to the worksheet necessary to complete the exercise.
Tenth graders apply their knowledge of similiar polygons to make conjectures about similarity among three-dimensional models. They test their conjectures by measuring three-dimensional objects and comparing corresponding lengths of edges and angle measures, surface areas, and volumes.
Tenth graders calculate the volume of three-dimensional objects. In this measurement lesson, 10th graders will create their own volume problems then compose a PowerPoint presentation of basic geometric figures.
Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.
Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.
In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.
An interactive online identify the shape worksheet. The pupils click on the shape they are asked to identify and the computer tells them if they are correct or asks them to try again. There re some other directions included but don't seem to pertain to this interactive worksheet.
Students explore finding the surface area and volume of cubes and cylinders. They construct similar three-dimensional figures from a two-dimensional drawing. Students derive the formula for volume and surface area through examination of the cubes they formed.
Examine patterns of figures composed of six-squares and predict which of the twenty presented could be folded to make a cube. They then fold large-scale patterns of these figures to confirm their hunches.
Learners investigate the concept of using drawings to illustrate the properties of three-dimensional figures. They are challenged to calculate the surface area of three-dimensional shapes like prisms and cubes. They find products at home that reflect the shapes they find.
