In this geometry assessment worksheet, students match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...

Each country or group of people has created special places of worship. Children read a story about religious buildings and architecture and then make clay models of the buildings they like the best. The lesson has been written to...

Sixth graders use toothpicks and gumdrops to make prisms and pyramids. This helps them explore the relationship betweeen faces, vertices, and edges.

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

In this math review worksheet, students review for their 7th grade exam using a variety of worksheets on different topics. There are 35 problems plus some word problems in the worksheet booklet.  

Students look at the geometry in an artwork. In this art history/geometry instructional activity, students research the artist Charles Sheeler and look at his painting Stacks in Celebration. They find the different types of lines,...

In this algebra worksheet, students calculate how many candy canes and ornaments are on each person's Christmas tree. They are given specific clues to help them calculate their answers. There are 2 questions with an answer key.

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Learners use pattern blocks and triangular grid paper to review shape names, be introduced to the concept of a tiling of the plane, and determine which pattern blocks tile the plane. They are asked: "Have you ever seen a floor or a wall...

In this 2D figure learning exercise, students pick which figure they are given. Students choose from 4 figures in each of the 4 problems they are asked.

In this solid figure learning exercise, students write 3 possible combinations of views and a solid figure for a set of 3 plane figures. Students are given choices in a box at the top of the page. Students then draw and label top views...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

Third graders explore the attributes of polygons. In this geometric shapes lesson, 3rd graders review quadrilaterals, squares, rectangles, triangles, pentagons, hexagons, and octagons in order to create hanging polygons. Students then...

Learners explore pyramids. In this math lesson, students discuss where they have seen examples of pyramids. Learners classify pyramids as three-dimensional figures and identify their attributes.

Students investigate the relationship between metric length measurement and English length measurement units. They watch a demonstration of the use of centimeter and millimeter rulers before practicing using the Ladder technique to...

Young scholars brainstorm if they think that any lever would use the same amount of paperclips. They break into small groups and use a data sheet as well as a lever, Lego person, fulcrum, and some paperclips and prove what they think by...

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this instructional activity on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This...

Young scholars read The Greedy Triangle and discuss geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students list the geo-solids in the world and create a graphic organizer to show where geo-solids exist.

Perform operations to add, subtract, multiply and divide matrices. Then solve problems with vectors using matrices. A three day lesson: Matrix Madness, Mystical Matrices, and Decode the Encode. The last lesson has prizes that the class...

In this math analogies worksheet, students respond to 4 questions that require them to analyze the relationships between math words. Students then write their own math analogies.

Pupils define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry activity, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
