How do you know you know? Prove it! The guide goes through several examples and includes a link to a video to teach learners how to work through coordinate proofs. The goal is to prove that different shapes are indeed that shape. 

Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or...

Sew up pupil interest with an engaging, hands-on instructional activity. Learners first design a sports bag given constraints on the dimensions of fabric. They then evaluate provided sample responses to identify strengths and weaknesses...

Fourth graders identify and label different types of polygons in real life situations. Using a digital camera, they take pictures of polygons on the school grounds, tally the number of shapes found, and answer discussion questions.

Third graders explore vocabulary associated with three dimensional figures.  In this transformations instructional activity, 3rd graders create two dimensional nets for three dimensional figures.  Students become familiar with...

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,...

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