Where is the vertex? Each of these three-dimensional figures is drawn so learners can see all sides and corners. They examine an example before trying six on their own. Some of these will be tricky, so be sure kids have covered this...

Scholars construct three-dimensional figures to study dimension and side views. Learners build models using linking cubes to match views of different sides. After practicing with models, they attempt to match three-dimensional drawings...

Does it have corners? Scholars sort three-dimensional figures into one of two categories based on whether or not they have corners. They look at six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid. For each,...

Here are six solid figures for learners to identify. The names are listed along the left side and the shapes pictured on the right. Each shape is shown as a familiar object instead of just a drawing. Figures include a cylinder,...

A dimensional resource teaches viewers to recognize 2-D views of 3-D objects and how to match nets with their 3-D figures. Individuals draw different views of three-dimensional objects including views from the front, side...

Each of these 10 shapes comes with a question for learners to answer as they analyze its attributes. They examine the following shapes: hexagon, trapezoid, pentagon, circle, diamond, parallelogram, rectangle, triangle,...

In this platonic solid worksheet, students observe five solids and draw a net of each three-dimensional figure. Students examine a tetrahedron, an octahedron, an icosahedron, a cube, and a dodecahedron. This is a one-page worksheet.

Develop young mathematicians' knowledge of two- and three-dimensional shapes with this geometry workbook. From learning about the classifications of different shapes and figures to calculating their area, perimeter, and volume, this...

Some of the best practice with shape identification comes from drawing the figures first-hand. Young geometers draw nine two-dimensional shapes: rectangle, circle, square, pentagon, hexagon, octagon, triangle with three equal sides,...

In this geometry worksheet, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

How many right triangles can you find in a prism, cone, or pyramid? Using right triangles to find lengths in three-dimensional figures is the focus of the lesson. After working with the Pythagorean Theorem to find missing side...

It's the parts that make the whole. Learners apply volume formulas to composite figures to find the total volume of the figure. Previous lessons in this series taught the methods for finding the volume and/or dimensions of...

Explore two and three-dimensional shapes. Learners first examine three 2-D shapes and determine which of three 3-D figures could have made that shape. The wording here is a bit confusing; make sure your kids understand what it is...

Determine the level of understanding within your classes using a summative assessment. As the final lesson in a 29-part module, the goal is to assess the topics addressed during the unit. Concepts range from linear angle relationships,...

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...

Review the principles of scaling areas and draws a comparison to scaling volumes with a third dimensional measurement. The exercises continue with what happens to the volume if the dimensions are not multiplied by the same...

Some shapes have square corners, and some do not. Scholars participate in a sorting activity as they determine if these 12 shapes have square corners, categorizing them based on this attribute. Encourage geometers to draw the square into...

If we stack up all the cross sections of a figure, does it create the figure? Pupils make the connection between the complete set of cross sections and the solid. They then view videos in order to see how 3D printers use Cavalerie's...

For this drawing views of solid figures practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

In this parallel lines and transversals worksheet, 10th graders solve eleven problems that include identifying and defining transversals and parallel lines. First, they state the transversal that forms each pair of angles and then...

To take the longest path, go around—or was that go over? Class members measure scale drawings of a cylindrical vase to find the height and diameter. They calculate the actual height and circumference and determine which is larger.  

What figure is formed by connecting the midpoints of the sides of a quadrilateral? The geometry assessment task has class members work through the process of determining the figure inscribed in a quadrilateral. Pupils use geometric...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...
