Hi, what do you want to do?
Curated OER
Solids...Volume and Surface Area
In this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume and surface area of different solid figures. Students complete 8 problems.
Curated OER
Different Dice
In this different dice worksheet, 9th graders read about the use of octahedrons as dice, review the probability with cubical dice, then answer the question of probability when rolling 2 octahedral dice.

Integrating Art Into Other Content Areas
Here are some ideas to help add an art lesson to every math, science, social studies, or language arts unit.
Curated OER
Polyhedra Book
In this math worksheet, students are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
Exploring Projective Geometry
For this exploring projective geometry worksheet, students use computer software for instruction, then answer 9 questions about 3D drawings.
Curated OER
Faces, Vertices, Edges
Learners identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.
Curated OER
Examining Geometric Solids
Students explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Students identify patterns between vertices, edges...
