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

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.

This site includes an interactive math tool to create drawings on isometric dot paper. You can draw figures using edges, faces, or cubes. Rotate and color your drawings, and view them in 3D or 2D.

Take a tour of the Eiffel Tower with Marie-Clare and measure its area. Read and interpret time and look at cross-sections of 3D figures.

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at surface area and volume and how math involved in the design of large inflatable shapes. The accompanying interactive component lets students investigate a variety of cylinders to get a...

Practice matching 2D nets to the 3D shapes the fold up into. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video briefly shows and describes a cube, rectangular prism, triangular prism, and a cylinder and then determines what 3D figure is shown through process of...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video shows how to look at a pattern of 2D shapes to determine the next shape in the pattern. The video is followed by a series of practice questions to assess...

Test your knowledge of determing the lengths and angles of right triangles.

For this lesson, students will explore self-portraiture by looking at classical portrait paintings, such as Diego Velazquez's La Infanta Margarita or Raphael's Portrait of Baldassare Castiglione. A close look at these works reveals...

[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.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a formative assessment task where students are asked to use geometric solids to model each of four tent shapes on a worksheet and use mathematical language to describe them. Samples of student...

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

Let Peter the Bus driver help you learn about 3D objects.

A geodesic dome is constructed using newspaper for this activity. The activity is accompanied by a lesson plan, and a link to a 'Shapes Lab' where you can see through animation the strength of various shapes for construction.

This interactive exercise focuses on discovering the relationships between two and three-dimensional shapes.

See how the cross-sections of solids relate to their shapes.

Practice your knowledge of all possible cross-sections of common 3D objects. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Students will play learning games to practice identifying and creating 3-dimensional figures.

On this interactive website students practice various math skills using a real life scenario at a toy store. Those skills include describing the features of pyramids, prisms, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students can explore three dimensional objects using this interactive sketch board.

Students will use CAD to design and explore three dimensional objects.

Practice your knowledge of all possible cross-sections of common 3D objects.

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.]
