Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

In this solid and plane figure activity, students pick which solid figure they could trace to make the plane figure shown. Students complete 4 multiple choice questions.

In this solid figures worksheet, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.

In this geometry assessment learning exercise, learners match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.

Take finding volume of 3-D figures to the next level. In the 22nd lesson of the series, learners find the volume of composite solids. The lesson the asks them to deconstruct the composites into familiar figures and use volume formulas.

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

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...

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...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based activity, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Which of these shapes is congruent? Young geometers examine five familiar shapes: triangle, oval, rectangle, triangle, and circle. Each is followed by a set of shapes, of which one is congruent. They circle the congruent...

Learners calculate volume using the correct formula and the correct unit. They explore different prisms, spheres, cubes, and cones as they calculate volume and relate it to depths in oceans.

In this identifying solid figures instructional activity, students name each solid figure, write the number of faces, vertices, and edges, and solve a word problem. Students solve seven problems.

In this drawing views of solid figures practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.

Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Similar shapes are all about the scale. Given seven problems, pupils use scale factors to determine measurements within similar shapes. While solving the problem, scholars also determine whether two figures are similar and use...

Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

Cakes offer a yummy way to learn about math. Scholars use manipulatives to discover the formulas for the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. They use their formulas to calculate the amount of cake mix and frosting necessary...

Learners identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry instructional activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Learners identify the number of surfaces and faces on...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

Strengthen young geometric muscles with this exercise in finding surface area and volume. Six problems provide practice at determining the surface area and volume of two solid figures shown in cubic units, deciding which to find given a...

In this geometric solids worksheet, students examine 4 different solid shapes then record the number of faces, the number of edges and the name of each shape.

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...

Here are six solid figures for learners to identify. The names are listed along the left side and the shapes pictured on the right. Each shape is shown as a familiar object instead of just a drawing. Figures include a cylinder,...

In this solids worksheet, young scholars identify true statements that match a given solid. They identify parallel lines. This two-page worksheet contains four problems. Answers are listed on the last page.
