Pupils investigate segments in a triangle by constructing a triangle using Cabri Jr. They construct segments within the triangle that lie on the midpoints of the triangle's sides. Learners then compare the slope of base of the triangle...

Second graders practice vocabulary related to measurement, mathematics, and dinosaurs. Using the engaging topic of dinosaurs, learners will calculate various information about dinosaurs and use measurement vocabulary. They will also...

Build class community with an art project. Learners first examine and discuss works of art. They then contribute to a class mural by tracing their hands and decorating them in relation to their own cultures. The final mural...

Eighth graders explore the area of astronomy. They explore Earth's neighboring planets. Students research a planet's characteristics. They develop a scale model of the solar system and a narrative about the planets.

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.

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

Lesson introducing the basic three-dimensional shapes (sphere, cylinder, cone, cube). Common items with those shapes are hidden on the playground for students to find and photograph. Pictures are then used to create a photostory....

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

This lesson plan walks students through an exploration of two- and three-dimensional shapes. Students will create a PowerPoint and poster of themselves as a chosen shape. It also gives assessment and remediation ideas as well as ways to...

The students will make the connection between 2-D and 3-D shapes using modeling clay and geometric solids and participate in an interactive web lesson plan. Students will make predictions about what 2-D shape they think will be made when...

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

This interactive web lesson teaches students about two-dimensional shape attributes.

In this lesson the children will demonstrate parts of a whole using a candy bar (or fruit), and piece of paper. The activities are used as instructional plans to help young scholars better understand shapes and parts of a shape up to a...

Two and three-dimensional geometric shape are explored in these exercises. Each activity has teacher notes, activity instructions, and a worksheet when necessary.

Use this lesson plan to help students learn about cylinders. Students will be creating cylinders, and comparing them and their capacity. This engaging, hands-on lesson will hold student interest and be very beneficial to student learning.

This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

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

In this lesson on shape attributes, students learn key vocabulary, explore bases, and apply their learning to a real-world situation.

[Free Registration/Login Required] In this lesson students, will develop an understanding of geometric concepts and use them to identify, measure and compare a variety of two-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes using models, pictures,...

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...
