In this geometric shapes instructional activity, students answer 6 questions about geometric figures. For each question, a diagram of a geometric figure is shown and students are asked to choose the correct name for the figure shown. 

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this instructional activity to...

Students discuss methods of building forms with clay (ball and variations, snake, flat sheets). They draw a stick figure of what their sculpture may look like, including correct figure proportion.

Is it a calendar? A religious symbol? A political statement? One thing for certain is that Aztec sun stone designs remain an important symbol in Mexican cultural art. Young artists craft their own Aztec Sun design incorporating ideas...

Your geometry learners will appreciate this net for a square pyramid. Copy, cut, and manipulate to explore the surface area or volume of a square pyramid.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson plan, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects...

Tenth graders plot points on a coordinate plane. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders identify the different quadrants, plots points on a number line and coordinate plane and solve for the midpoint of line segments.

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

These activities will allow students to discover the concepts of geometry through shape exploration and the creation of choreographic sequences.

Explore distance and geometric shapes while joining Ivan in his soccer practice!

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

An interactive game to find number of edges, surfaces and vertices of different geometric shapes.

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

Online activities are given to explore space and shape in geometry.

The instructional tool explores various geometric solids and their properties. Student can manipulate and color the different shapes. Learners examine the edges, faces, and vertices of the different solid figures.

Practice identifying 3D shapes.

Identify the parts of 3D shapes in this assessment.

An architectural modeling lesson that first demonstrates how architects combine forms to create buildings and then provides instructions for building architectural models. Includes links to architectural terms and to useful illustrations...

This resource allows users to test their geometry knowledge.

This site offers a variety of art lessons that use various media. Each project includes instructions and pictures of the students' completed artwork.

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.]
