Students follow directions to make two- and three-dimensional shapes. Focusing on polygons, they use the shapes to solve real-world problems and review with the class. They read two of Shel Silverstein's poems and discuss the...

In this math vocabulary worksheet, students complete 15 multiple choice problems, choosing the correct definition for a set of math terms. A reference web site is included for additional activities. 

Young scholars differentiate between parallel and perpendicular lines. In this geometry lesson, students make conjectures and apply it to solve real life situations. They collect data and make predictions based on the data.

In this area worksheet, students complete a ten question multiple choice test by finding the area of various geometric figures. This is an interactive worksheet.

Learners examine the concept of protein structure. They read an article, construct a three-dimensional model of an insulin protein, take a quiz, conduct Internet research, and answer discussion questions.

Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.

Science teams make models of four different hydrocarbon compounds that we commonly use for fuel. Then they demonstrate chemical reactions that result when energy is produced. This can be used as an enrichment when your class is studying...

Learners follow directions in the ABC of Symmetry to make a butterfly which shows a line of symmetry.

Fourth graders are introduced to the vocabulary needed to identify the attributes of two and three-dimensional figures. They work together to create a word wall, which contains the geometric terminology being learned.

In this prisms worksheet, high schoolers answer 10 multiple choice problems about prisms.  Students determine the number of faces a prism has, characteristics of figures, etc.

Middle schoolers work in small groups to make various geometric solids with Play-Doh. They use fishing line to make cuts and observe the shapes of the cross-sections. Pupils complete an assessment in which they answer questions such as:...

Make the connection between the distance formula and the equation of a circle. The teacher presents a lesson on how to use the distance formula to derive the equation of the circle. Pupils transform circles on the coordinate plane and...

Third graders engage in a lesson that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while following the...

In this solid shapes learning exercise, students learn to identify and solve word problems that use solid shapes. Students solve six word problems about solid shapes.

Students work together with a partnet to design a building. Using materials, they create the inside and outside of the structure along with works of art. They present their creation to the class and receive constructive criticism in return.

Students read "Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes" by Stuart Murphy and view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes. They identify shapes presented in the book and then identify shapes found in their classroom.

Learners sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Learners sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Students sketch and identify properties of pyramids. In this geometry lesson, students create nets to identify three dimensional shapes. They sketch cones, prisms and pyramids.

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson plan, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.

Students create nets of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of cylinders and other solids. They show their understanding of three-dimensional shapes by solving problems.

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

Searching for a relatively interesting way to demonstrate Charles' Law? Here is a lesson in which pupils heat air inside a flask and then cool the flask to quickly cool the air. They make observations about what occurs during the...
