The tutorial investigates the volumes of a cone, a cylinder, and a hemisphere. The problem includes a detailed solution.

Test your knowledge of determing the lengths and angles of right triangles.

A collection of circular objects will be used to explore circumference and diameter of circles.

The geometry resource investigates three-dimensional objects. Objects include prisms, cylinders, cones, and spheres. Detailed examples and practice exercises are included.

Students will explore symmetry through a variety of learning games.

Practice your knowledge of all possible cross-sections of common 3D objects. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Identifying 2D shapes in common objects and sorting according to shapes connects the real world to learning shape names and attributes.

This lesson offers an interesting, hands-on experience for middle school students studying cylinders. Students will create cylinders, and measure and compare their volumes.

Students make a series of geometric drawings of points, obtuse angles, rays, polygons, and the like. Each child is given one but not allowed to show anyone else. The drawing is then taped to the back of the child in front of them. The...

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

The focus of this series of lessons is to engage students in an exploration of the world around them. The emphasis is on inquiry as students learn about the earth, sun, light, shapes and more.

Practice decomposing irregular shapes to find their area. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints. CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.d Recognize area as additive.

Apply the principles of kinematic graphing to match the motion of eleven objects with their corresponding graphical descriptions. Students must understand how the shape of position-time and velocity-time graphs relate to a motion.
