Curated OER
Classify Prisms
Students classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms lesson plan, students explore different prisms. Students generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.
Curated OER
Classifying Pyramids
Students study pyramids. For this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Students will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Rectagular Prisms
Sixth graders investigate the area of polygons. In this geometry activity, 6th graders calculate area of prisms using geometric formulas. They work with prisms and other rectangular shapes.
