Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. For this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids instructional activity, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture,...

Students conduct an experiment.  In this geometry lesson, students practice identifying, describing and comparing geometric solids.

Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

Create and investigate nets for solid shapes with your class. They identify the different parts and faces of each polygon and solid then calculate the surface area and volume of cones. They use circle sectors of varying sizes to build...

Students investigate solids. In this geometry instructional activity, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.
