This tutorial will show you how using formulas can help you solve problems. Include formulas for various geometric shapes and steps showing how to use them.

In this lesson, students use movement and the creation of human structures to help them understand angles, plane shapes, and geometric solids.

"The volume of a cube can be developed by considering unit cubes, a single row (longs) of unit cubes or a single layer (flats) of cubes using this applet." This easy software makes it possible to easily construct a cube and take it...

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Young scholars will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

This Math Forum instructional activity gives instructions on how to build a paper pyramid. Bonuses included finding the surface area and volume of the pyramid.

A geometry instructional activity that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive instructional activity that considers students with diverse learning...

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Print or create worksheets to assess students' understanding of geometrical figures and describe the relationships between them.

For this task, learners investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

Using an engaging approach, this lesson requires students to record the volume of cylinders as a function of the radius. Students will construct and measure the volume of several cylinders and then begin comparing these shapes.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a formative assessment task where students are asked to use geometric solids to model each of four tent shapes on a worksheet and use mathematical language to describe them. Samples of student...
