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...

Learners examine three different geometric solid shapes and their nets. They answer multiple choice, spatial awareness questions where they determine which view: front, top or either, the net represents.

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.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple worksheet prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

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 participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Learners 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. Learners define geometric solids...

Learners 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...

Students conduct an experiment.  For this geometry lesson, students practice identifying, describing and comparing geometric solids.

In this solid and plane figure activity, students pick which solid figure they could trace to make the plane figure shown. Students complete 4 multiple choice questions.

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...

First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids lesson, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture, weight, size,...

In this geometric solids learning exercise, students examine 4 different solid shapes then record the number of faces, the number of edges and the name of each shape.

From polyhedrons to platonic solids, here is a lesson that will have your classes talking! As an introduction to platonic solids, scholars cut and fold nets to create the three-dimensional solids. They use an interactive component to...

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

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

Challenge mathematicians to examine and sort a variety of 2-D and 3-D figures with a 10-problem solid shapes worksheet.

See all sides of the story with a worksheet on geometric shapes! After studying the example at the top, which matches polygons with solid figures, second graders circle shapes that are named in the directions. Next, they match polygons...

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

In this geometry skills activity, students respond to 4 questions that require them to examine geometric figures and change them to solid figures and plane figures.
