Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

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.

In this 3D figure learning exercise, students observe the net of a 3D figure where you open up the figure and tell if it is an accurate representation of that figure. Students complete this for 3 figures.

Students calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Three solid figures are lined up down the left side of the page to be compared to three nets down the right side. Learners simply decide if the corresponding net matches the solid figure. Be aware that the publisher's watermark is...

First graders use their observations to describe daily and seasonal cycles. through a demonstration using a suspended ball and flashlight, they determine the time of day in various locations. Next, 1st graders participate in a...

In this triangular prism activity, students cut out, fold and fasten the tabs to make a triangular prism model. This is a net pattern.

In this math worksheet, students learn the shape of a cylinder by constructing a model using this net pattern. Students cut, fold and tape the pattern to make a 3D cylinder.

Second graders be having hands-on experiences with three-dimensional solid shapes. They investigate the features of solid shapes and examine the names for them. They are introduced to making nets for 3D shapes.

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...

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

In this volume worksheet, students create different sized cubes and compare the sizes by pouring sand from one cube into another. Students follow 4 directions and reflect on their findings.

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

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,...

Explore surface areas and nets with 2D and 3D shapes.

In this tea store, the boxes all have different shapes! What do you know about shapes?

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore cross sections and nets of three dimensional objects. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

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 Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

Help Peg and Cat move the net to collect the jewels while you hunt for solid shapes.

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.]

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

Use this tool to see animated models of over 100 different types of polyhedra. There are five options for how they appear, and you can also see the net, 'explode' the solid so that the faces are separated, or drag it to rotate it...

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.
