Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

Math is a lot like building blocks—it requires a solid foundation. A short performance task has pupils consider the volume of a cubic block. It then asks mathematicians to find the surface area and volume of a prism made from stacking...

In this area of regions worksheet, students determine the area of a region enclosed by a graph. They find the volume of a solid and write equations involving an integral expression for given conditions. This two-page worksheet contains...

Given a box of certain dimensions, young mathematicians must determine if a box that is twice as big, actually holds twice as much. This is a brain-teaser of a problem. The worksheet provides a handy table that has learners calculate the...

Here is a challenging and thought-provoking math instructional activity. In it, learners work together to construct a variety of boxes of different sizes to see if doubling the size of a box really means it can hold twice as much stuff...

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

We use basic units of measurement to break down things and communicate clearly. The first lesson in an 11-part series teaches the proper way to measure various items. It starts simply with measuring the dimensions and areas of geometric...

Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry instructional activity, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in...

In this volume worksheet, students solve twenty volume of various solids problems.  The solids examined include: cylinders, cubes, rectangular prism, including how the volumes of these figures change with increased in length. ...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

Learners explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Learners identify patterns between vertices, edges...

Middle schoolers explore math functions by completing math equation worksheets. In this inequality lesson, students define a list of math terms and discuss the difference between an equation and inequality. Middle schoolers utilize a...

A chart in this activity prompts students to list the number of faces, vertices, and edges in each of five shapes. Additionally, students provide the number of faces that meet at each vertex as well as the number of sides of each face....

Fifth graders use formulas for calculating areas of squares and rectangles to find area of complex figure, compare their own ideas with their classmates' ideas, and recognize that there are multiple methods for finding area of complex...

Sixth graders explore rates as a specific type of ratio, using visual examples of unit rates and unit prices to increase comprehension. They also practice solving problems that are modeled by the instructor. The well-scripted lesson is...

In this 2D and 3D figure worksheet, learners name different shapes and decide if they are polygons or not. Students complete 8 problems.

Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric solids...

Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. For this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various...

Students explore two-dimensional and solid shapes. In this shapes and patterns geometry lesson, students work with a partner to create identifiable objects using tangrams. Students describe the attributes of their shape and their partner...

In this geometry worksheet, students analyze 9 drawings of geometric shapes and solid figures. Students write the name of each shape. There is no word bank.

In this math worksheet, students investigate a solid mass that is suspended. Then they find the integral to help define its placement in space.

Plants never grow at the same rate, and that is the antithesis for this word problem involving multiplication of fractions. On the worksheet, Raul notices that Pablo's seedlings are 1 1/2 times as tall, and Celina's seedlings are 3/4 as...

Fifth graders use patterns, models and relationships to solve equations.  In this equations instructional activity, 5th graders define vocabulary for equations and complete worksheets explaining variables and solving problems.

Math scholars observe and demonstrate how to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders. They analyze pictures of various cylinders on a handout, solve problems on two worksheets independently, and discuss the answers to the...
