In this solids worksheet, students identify the characteristics of solids. They name solids and determine the number of faces. This three-page worksheet contains seventeen problems. Answers are listed on the last page.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

In this geometry worksheet, students classify polygons based on their sides and shape. There are 16 shapes to be identified with an answer key.

For this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume and surface area of different solid figures. Students complete 8 problems.

Students identify solid figures. For this classification lesson, students recognize and name solid figures. Students identify which figures contain polygons and rectangles. Students practice counting vertices, faces and edges.

Middle schoolers classify prisms according to their attributes. In this classifying prisms instructional activity, students explore different prisms. Middle schoolers generate observations of the attributes and classify the prism correctly.

Students investigate solids. For this geometry lesson, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

First graders explore the math concept of geometric shapes. In this plane shapes and solid shapes lesson, 1st graders examine visual examples. Students also practice solving problems that their instructors model.

Students discover what happens to their trash and garbage once it is collected off of the curb. In groups, they classify garbage and waste into seven different categories and estimate how much waste is created in each one. Using the...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Pupils identify class and types of materials in our environment.  In this investigative lesson students work in groups to process information about what actions should be taken concerning solid waste.

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric solids...

Students study pyramids. In this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Students will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.

Students create an leaf print banner, and classify, sort and find patterns in the leaves as they work.

First graders sort and classify, and complete a T-chart using Students' shoes.

Students investigate solid shapes. In this geometry lesson, students take pictures of solid shapes and classify their pictures according to the vocabulary terms: edge, face and vertex. Students present their findings to the class.

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

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 lesson to create 3 dimensional...

Fourth and fifth graders investigate angles and name them according to the criteria for obtuse, acute, and right angles. They examine a human-made yarn pattern on the floor of their classroom and identify angles, vertices, and types of...

Students analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, students match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.
