Three Dimensional Figures
In this geometry worksheet, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

Classifying Three-Dimensional Shapes
Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Functions and Top-Down Design
Let me break it down for you! Introduce your class to a way of breaking up a complicated task into its component pieces. Individuals draw a complex figure using JavaScript and then break it down to help determine the functions needed in...

Faces, Edges, and Vertices
In this solid figures worksheet, students learn to identify solid figures by their faces, edges, and vertices. Students solve six word problems about the solid figure characteristics.

Identify Faces
In this solid shapes learning exercise, students learn to identify solid shape faces. Students identify the solid shapes and the faces in the six word problems.

Geometry Assessment: Solid Figures
In this geometry assessment learning exercise, students match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.

Identifying Faces, Edges, and Vertices
Fourth graders examine faces, edges, and vertices. In this geometry lesson plan, 4th graders participate in classroom activities that require them to compare geometric shapes, figures, and models.

Relating Algebra to Geometry
Learners investigate the connection that exists between Algebra and Geometry. They classify two and three-dimensional figures. Pupils use formulas to solve problems in geometry and use appropriate measuring devices in the right contexts.

A Cone and Its Net
Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Idioms
Here is a simple list of 21 idioms for which learners are supposed to write the figurative meanings. I'd extend it to include either drawing pictures or group discussions to build meaning rather than just assigning it as individual work.

Choosing and evaluating a range of subject matter, symbols, and ideas
Art is a great way to convey or express an idea. Learners choose an idiom, draw it, and use transfer paper to create photograms. They discuss how why they chose the phrase they did, and how they expressed that idea through their drawings.

2D and 3D Shapes
What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

Funny Face Self Portraits
Students gain appreciation for the drawings by Leonardo da Vinci. They show human emotion by drawing facial features in correct proportion - studying ratio of eye width to the rest of the facial features. They create values by varying...

Arctic Shapes
In a two-part worksheet, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals explore nets of...

Tetrahedron Kites
Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...
