Explore the world of solid shapes in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition, interactive examples, and interesting practice questions that help with understanding.

Explore the volume of solid figures.

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.

Learn the mathematics behind modeling in three dimensions to maximize or minimize one aspect of the situation.

Introduces the concept of 3D shapes by learning the definition, types, properties, and three dimensions. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

Describing 3D shapes in Pre-K and Kindergarten is now an expectation as it is a key geometry standard. This resource contains 3D shapes activities and resources for practicing this standard. Included are chants, videos, games, poetry,...

Middle schoolers explore surface area and volume through this lesson plan and worksheet activity.

In this lesson, students will estimate several dimensions of circles in everyday objects. Students will use the metric and customary systems for their estimations. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through...

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