Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Young scholars explore tangram vocabulary and tangram designs, creating an art design that contains various geometric parts. They complete a checklist titled, Important Thing About a Quilt Design.

Students are introduced to lines, rays, line segments and planes and study the differences between them. They also practice graphing lines, rays, line segments and planes

Students recognize that quilts are created by geometric components. They examine how quilts are an artistic art form that show the cultural heritage of the people who make them.

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area activity, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Students examine new shape possibilities by combining two and four triangles using manipulatives.

Given a net for a three-dimensional figure, the student will make conjectures and draw conclusions about the three-dimensional figure formed by the given net.

Given nets for three-dimensional figures, the student will apply the formulas for the total and lateral surface area of three-dimensional figures to solve problems using appropriate units of measure.

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of three-dimensional figures. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It"...

Use Glencoe's Math Course 2 randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of three-dimensional figure drawings. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page...

Students will explore volume conjectures and solve problems by applying the volume formulas to composite figures.

Get independent practice drawing three-dimensional figures. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

This site gives a short interactive quiz which allows students to self-assess their understanding of the concept of three-dimensional figures.

Get independent practice working with scaling three-dimensional figures. Each incorrect response gets a text box explanation and another try. Correct responses are confirmed.

In this activity, students learn to draw a three-dimensional figure using Isometric Dots in the Explorer Draw App on the calculator. They also find the area and volume of a rectangular prism. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Given application problems involving 3-dimensional figures, the student will estimate measurements, including surface area and/or volume, then solve the problems.

This page brings you to a table of contents of three-dimensional figures. Selecting a figure will bring you to a page defining and illustrating the figure with applicable formulas listed.

Describes the basic three-dimensional figures students will encounter in elementary Math and in the world around them, and makes mention of a few unusual ones.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on identifying and naming three dimensional figures.

While 3 Dimensional shapes are not mentioned specifically in the Common Core, they do include the term face which is more appropriate for 3D shape attributes.

This site provides an in-depth definition of a two-dimensional figure and a three-dimensional figure. Related terms include arcs, vertices, polygon, and many more.

A guide to support parents as they work with their students with two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.

In this lesson, students will learn to identify three-dimensional shapes by name and distinguish between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart describes the characteristics of polyhedrons and asks students to classify figures according to the number of vertices, faces, and bases of the figures.
