Finalize the plans before playing in the sand. Learners design sandcastles using geometric and composite figures. They create blueprints, including the scale, and three-dimensional models of their castles. Finally, scholars calculate the...

Sixth graders create three-dimensional black and red figured Greek Vessels out of papier-mache, while researching and discussing Greek history, and myths of powerful gods and goddesses.

Students identify the volume of cones and pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students derive the formula for cones and pyramids. They calculate the volume of cones and other three dimensional shapes.

Learners find the surface area and volume of the solid figures by measuring the length and the height of each face and base. They use concrete models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume...

Seventh graders explore the characteristics of three-dimensional figures. They compare the nets of figures. Students describe the relationship between the nets draw and the solid. They identify the vertices, edges and faces of the...

Third graders construct a dodecahedron that displays facts about two and three-dimensional figures. They use a pattern to construct a dodecahedron after writing facts about geometry onto each of the figure's twelve faces.

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Students explore dissecting planes. In this biology lesson plan, students learn the basic vocabulary used in dissection, learn how to orient themselves on a three dimensional figure, and develop the manual dexterity necessary to use...

In this geometry and art worksheet, 3rd graders trace and cut out a cubic net to fold and glue together to learn about the dynamics of three-dimensional figures and shapes.

Students are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each of...

In this calculations review worksheet, students convert from one metric unit to another, they identify significant figures in numbers, they find density of substances, and they solve problems using dimensional analysis.

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.

Students identify the ratios of different triangles. In this geometry lesson, students identify the similarity and differences of triangles. They use the navigator to move the sides of the triangle around.

Students explore the relationships between similar figures. In this relationships between similar figures lesson, students discuss relationships between perimeter, circumference, area, surface area, and volume of similar figures through...

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

Three activities make up a solar system lesson that features the sun, its light, and the shadows it produces. Scholars step outside to discover the changes shadows make at different times of day, take part in a demonstration of...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Hand your incoming scientists a collection of helpful worksheets to introduce them to your chemistry class. The packet addresses exponents, scientific notation, metric conversion, and dimensional analysis.

Explore polygons with your elementary learners. Divide the class in 12 to configure the polygon puzzle before them. They list the attributes of each type of polygon they see, and if there's time, they jump on the interactive website...

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have in...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Eighth graders engage in a lesson plan that is concerned with the finding of angles that are found in different two dimensional figures. They compare and contrast exterior and interior angles while also determining the unknown measures...
