This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

In this lesson, young scholars will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.

Explore relationships (including congruence and similarity) among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them.

Practice finding the surface area and volume of some three-dimensional prisms.

In this instructional activity on solid shapes, students will learn to identify three-dimensional shapes by their attributes and learn to recognize them in the real world.

In this resource, 2-D views and 3-D figures are explored. Students build houses consisting of cubes using the given top, front, and right views. [Requires Java.]

The student will describe the effects of changing one or more dimensions on the volume of a 3-dimensional figure.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this flipchart, students are introduced to the following 3-D shapes, including spheres, cylinders, and rectangular prisms.

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Learners will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Twenty-four problems covering a variety of solid figure topics: dimensions, volume, surface and base areas. They are given with each step to the solution cleverly revealed one at a time. You can work each step of the problem then click...

Describing 3D shapes in Pre-K and Kindergarten is now an expectation as it is a key geometry standard. This resource contains 3D shapes activities and resources for practicing this standard. Included are chants, videos, games, poetry,...

Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.

In Spanish. Interactive resources and activities that could be used in the classroom either as an introduction or review to a unit dealing with the volume of three dimensional figures.

Print out these colorfully illustrated PDF file pages to practice learning your basic three dimensional geometric solids. Fold them in half and one side shows the shape while the other side shows the shape with the correct name. Put them...

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

Students will tell if a shape is 2-dimensional or 3-dimensional.

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