In this geometry lesson, 10th graders fold a dollar bill to make a tetrahedron. They analyze geometric shapes and apply it hands on.

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of a tetrahedron and how it is formed with its congruent faces. They practice making the shape by practicing the folding paper to create the shape. Students continue the lesson with the estimation...

In this 3-D objects and common solids activity, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5 different...

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

This resource offers a series of hands-on activities in which learners sketch and construct symmetrical origami, paper dolls, snowflakes, and polyhedra while adhering to specific requirements. These activities ask class members to...

Everyone loves a lesson that involves throwing things around! To understand probability, your experimenters will predict how different cylinder-shaped objects will land when tossed. When the data is collected, they will calculate the...

From polyhedrons to platonic solids, here is a lesson that will have your classes talking! As an introduction to platonic solids, scholars cut and fold nets to create the three-dimensional solids. They use an interactive component to...

Using a game format, learners review what they know about theoretical probability. As they roll tetrahedron dice, they record their results as odd or even. Afterwards, they discuss their findings.

Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the lesson, they use the shapes they made and...

In this math worksheet, students are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.

This website provides instructions on how to create a truncated tetrahedron.

Drawings and discussion on the properties of the cube, with lots of links to related pages. With this page you can find how to make a cube out of tetrahedron. [Requires Java.]

Contains six examples of polyhedra nets (cube, tetrahedron, octahedron, dodecahedron, icosahedron, cubosctahedron).

Learn about platonic solids, a special type of polyhedra. Read a definition, make three-dimensional models using printouts, and play with an interactive animation, which will show you the faces, vertices, and edges on platonic solids:...
