Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Data distributions can be compared in terms of center, variability, and shape. Two exploratory challenges present data in two different displays to compare. The displays of histograms and box plots require different comparisons based...

Join Mel and Alba and find out more about 3D shapes and the position of objects.

Meet Morisu in the dojo. Help him with symmetrical objects and shapes!

In this activity, students will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

Discover 2D shapes and 3D objects from different views in Antarctica!

In this lesson, 7th graders slice three dimensional objects to determine what two dimensional shape is created.

This lesson plan has students explore and compute volume of water.

This task asks students to compare the volumes of three vases that are different shapes - a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere - as well as one with a combination of shapes. They are then asked to create a vase with composite shapes, find...

In this task, 8th graders are presented with a drawing of three glasses of different shapes and their measurements. They are asked to make several calculations that require the application of the Pythagorean Theorem and volume formulas....

In this task, students investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...
