Who needs a pie-eating contest when you have a pi-ology game! Celebrate March 14th with a fun board game about pi and other geometric concepts. As learners answer questions about geometry, they move around the board to collect...

Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

In this solids instructional activity, 10th graders solve and complete 10 different word problems that include determining the volume and surface area of various solids. First, they determine the surface area of a cube as described....

In this surface area and volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that includes various types of solids and cylinders. First, they determine the surface area for each figure given certain measurements. Then, students...

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. They measure the height, radius and diameter of cylinders. Following given formulas, students calculate the area and volume of the cylinder. They compare cylinders and predict...

Students investigate the best way to calculate the measurements of an area. In this geometry lesson, students relate a large circle to a cylinder and its measurements. They use PVC pipes to gain hands on experience as they calculate the...

Model good modeling practices. Young mathematicians first learn about cross sections and solids of revolution. They then turn their attention to special right triangles and to the Laws of Sine and Cosine.

Can your first graders identify a cone? What about a cube? Or a prism? Help them find the differences between these shapes with this activity, which provides a word bank for three-dimensional shapes. For extra practice, bring in examples...

Use this resource as an anticipatory set before a lesson on geometric shapes. A hidden picture slowly appears to reveal a circle, cube, and cylinder. It is a colorful presentation.

Learners calculate the volume of prisms and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students are give part of the formula, and must calculate the missing parts. They use 80% accuracy for their dimensions.

Students identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry lesson, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

Fourth graders are asked to name different shapes.Four to five students to share their answers with the class. The teacher leads the discussion in geometry about the properties associated with shapes.

Are pyramids and cones similar in definition to prisms and cylinders? By examining the definitions, pupils determine that pyramids and cones are subsets of general cones. Working in groups, they continue to investigate the relationships...

Geometric volume calculations are brought into the real world in a quick set of application problems. Learners are asked to help a patient figure out how to drink a prescribed amount of water both at work and at home. This activity...

Twelfth graders use Algebra and Geometry to solve a real life problem at the Zoo.

In this online interactive squares, circles, cylinders, and spheres instructional activity, students use geometry to solve 8 problems that require them to identify shapes.

What better way to start your day than with a box of oatmeal? Or what better way to start your geometry class than by calculating its volume? Eighth graders discover just how practical volume computation can be in business and in breakfast!

In this areas and volumes worksheet, students find the area of truncated cones and elliptical cylinders.  They find the area by using one of three methods:  the disk method, the shell method, and using geometry.  This...

Students calculate the volume of different polygons. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the relationship between base and height. They calculate the area of each prism and cylinder.

Name that shape! This simple worksheet has learners identify each geometric figure. They examine rectangular prisms, cylinders, rectangular pyramids, and hexagonal prisms. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems, and the goals seems...

Add a sense of excitement to your math class with this race across the country. Using their knowledge of all things circular, young mathematicians work in pairs answering a series of pi-related word problems as they hop from one city to...

Potty humor is always a big hit with the school-age crowd, and potty algebra takes this topic to a whole new level. Here the class develops a model that connects the dimensions (radii, paper thickness, and length of paper) of a...
