Describing 3D shapes in Pre-K and Kindergarten is now an expectation as it is a key geometry standard. This resource contains 3D shapes activities and resources for practicing this standard. Included are chants, videos, games, poetry,...

Students can use this applet to explore different 3-D objects. Different objects can be chosen, rotated, and viewed from a variety of sides. [Requires Java.]

Is seeing believing? Explore visualizing and spatial reasoning with three dimensional shapes in this challenge from the NCTM Math Challenge for Families collection. Discover why visualization is essential skill in real world situations.

This lesson describes three dimensional shapes and provides two interactive practice activities.

Use the shapes provided and figure out how they fit together to make a 3 X 3 cube at this one page website. The solution is readily available right at the website.

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

In Spanish. Interactive resources and activities that could be used in the classroom either as an introduction or review to a unit dealing with the area of three dimensional figures.

Find volume of 3-dimensional figures by counting unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Explore relationships (including congruence and similarity) among classes of two- and three-dimensional geometric objects, make and test conjectures about them, and solve problems involving them.

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

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.
