3-D shapes identification is the focus of this geometry worksheet. Students determine the name of eight different 3-D shapes. Answers appear at the end of the worksheet.

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students use their calculators to find the volume or surface area of a pictured 3-dimensional figure.

Beginners to addition and subtraction will have fun with these three word problems, which have accompanying visuals. They complete one problem with a missing difference, one with a missing sum, and a third with a missing subtrahend....

Identify the nets for prisms and other geometric shapes. Learners calculate the surface area of the rectangular prism then sketch the shapes of prisms and other polygons. Unfolded cereal boxes are used as a visual aid, great idea!

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Play a coordinates game to encourage collaborative learning and grid use! Learners plot points on grids and play a game that challenges them to locate a specific point on a coordinate grid by using horizontal and vertical movements.

Young learners listen to the story book The Greedy Triangle as the teacher introduces new polygon shapes. They use geometric stencils to trace a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octogon onto a foldable notepad....

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

Learners are designing a stunning new water feature for an aquarium, but they soon discover that more than just a pretty home for their fishy friends is required.  From calculating the volume of a composite shape through the...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Students investigate concepts related to data collection and interpretation. They generate all possible outcomes in a beginning study in the realm of statistics. The use of real life situations helps to engage students.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Second graders observe images of prairie ecosystems and discuss the needs of living things. They create a prairie habitat in a closed jar to observe the water cycle and plant growth.

Using a concept attainment approach, learners identify surface area and volume by sorting examples (photos) that depict each concept (positive)  from those that don't (negative). Then as a class, they develop definitions of each...

First, second, and third graders explore elapsed time through estimation and prediction. They work with a partner to estimate how long it will take to perform various tasks. One person uses a stop watch to time his or her partner...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Use this geometry figures worksheet to have learners enter the names of ten geometric figures, one letter per box, so that the boxes with connecting lines have matching letters. Answers are provided at the bottom of the page.

More than 80 percent of the earth's surface originated from volcanoes. The 16th lesson in a 20-part series introduces the shape and development of volcanoes. It begins with a demonstration using a balloon and flour to illustrate the...

Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...

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...

Second graders engage in a lesson that is about the discovery of solids. They identify using shapes like cones, spheres, cylinders, and cubes in various different situations. Students explore the classroom in order to find examples of...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...
