In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Five questions make up an interactive designed to boosts knowledge of area and volume of solid figures. Question types include multiple-choice, true or false, and fill-in-the-blank. A scale model changes measurement to provide a visual...

What kind of tree does a math teacher climb? A geometry! Here is a lesson that includes all the geometry resources you could ever wish for in one comprehensive workbook. Class members demonstrate what they have learned by determining the...

Use this volume of solids lesson to have learners find the surface area and volume of cylinders, pyramids, and prisms. They place cubes inside three-dimensional figures to determine the volume. Worksheets and answers are provided.

After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple worksheet prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

Learners identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry instructional activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Learners identify the number of surfaces and faces on...

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson plan, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

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...

Students investigate solids. For this geometry lesson, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

Students conduct an experiment.  In this geometry lesson, students practice identifying, describing and comparing geometric solids.

Your learners connect the new concepts of transformations in the coordinate plane to their previous knowledge using the solid vocabulary development in this unit. Like a foreign language, mathematics has its own set of vocabulary terms...

Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

Three, two, one...liftoff! Elevate math skills to new heights while having a blast. A great resource that combines entertainment and education for children of all ages.

Students explore similar figures. In this surface area and volume lesson, students identify the relationship between the surface area and volume of similar figures.

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Learners investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Explore finding the surface area of composite figures. Building on the previous lessons in the 29-part series, the 24th installment examines the surface area of three-dimensional solids. The focus is on decomposing composite figures and...

Challenge mathematicians to examine and sort a variety of 2-D and 3-D figures with a 10-problem solid shapes worksheet.

Students complete activities to learn a phenomenological approach to polygons. In this polygons lesson, students use the materials in the directions to make demonstration models. Students use a wooden wagon model and liquid to learn...

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...
