Creating with an app is nice. But, creating with an app and being able to print and use your creation is great! This tool provides the opportunity to hone the skills related to spacial awareness, three-dimensional thinking, creativity,...

Time to find out what they've learned! The final lesson of a five-part series has learners complete a 39-question multiple choice review. They use what they've learned in the previous lessons to complete questions that include concepts...

In this nets of figures learning exercise, students determine which given shapes will make a shown net, then name the shapes uses. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this 3D figure instructional activity, 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.

Geometers construct a mobile or ornament using nets of three-dimensional polyhedrons. Not only do they need to compute the volume and surface area of each figure, they also earn points for creativity, neatness, and more!

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...

The objectives in the resource allow students to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart. Lastly,...

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

In this geometry worksheet, students cut out a net of a cone by following along the dotted lines as indicated by the scissors icon. They fold the figure to form a three-dimensional cone which they tape together. There are no directions...

Learners sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Learners sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry lesson, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.

Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Students are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each of...

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

In this geometry worksheet, students cut out a rectangular prism net. They cut along the dotted lines as indicated the scissors icon, and fold the piece along the solid lines to form the three-dimensional shape. There are no directions...

In this geometry learning tool worksheet, students cut the shape out along the dotted lines before folding and gluing it to form a three-dimensional figure.

Partners use materials to wrap three-dimensional objects to determine the formula for surface area. The groups use an orange to calculate the amount of peel it takes to completely cover the fruit. Using manipulatives, individuals then...

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...

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...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...

Third graders engage in a lesson that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while following the...
