In this solid rocket boosters worksheet, students solve 2 problems using a grid showing a cross section of a proposed solid rocket booster. Students complete the grid and shade the rings of combustion in 15-second step intervals. They...

Students examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson plan, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

For this geometry worksheet, students classify polygons based on their sides and shape. There are 16 shapes to be identified with an answer key.

In this review of math skills worksheet, students determine elapsed time in minutes, compare two-digit numerals, add values of money, identify an addition property and a solid figure. Students solve five problems.

Junior geometers practice stating the names of different geometric shapes. They define and name the different shapes and compare and contrast shapes to one another. They also relate the shapes to objects in the real world.

In this math who am I worksheet, students read geometric shapes and math terms clues, fill in the blanks, and check their answers by circling each third letter in boxes with answers. Students write eight answers.

Discover how to analyze architecture from a geometric standpoint. The fourth installment of an 11-part unit on architecture first provides a presentation on axis, balance, basic form, formal, pattern, proportion, symmetry, and tripartite...

After understanding that the volume of a unit cube is one cubic centimeter, math masters determine the volume of four larger rectangular shapes. Then they take the challenge to figure out the volume of seven irregular, cube-containing...

Students create entries for the Architects of America contest, including a model of a futuristic structure, blueprints, a list of all plane and solid shapes in the structure, a persuasive argument paper that describes why the structure...

In this volume worksheet, students observe diagrams and extrapolate the correct items to plug into a formula for volume. They find the volume of triangular prisms, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms, and rectangular pyramids. Four of...

Finding the perimeter of a shape is one of the basic skills for young geometers to master. This presentation does a good job of giving them some practice. Each of the slides has a different shape that they must consider. A good, solid...

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...

In this volume worksheet, students determine the volume of cubes, prisms, and assorted shapes.  This three-page worksheet is designed for mental computation.  Answers are provided beside each question.  This three-page...

Learners explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this instructional activity to...

Some items keep their shape no matter what happens! Have your kindergarten class choose which items would stay the same if they were bent, stretched, or squashed. The last activity prompts kids to see what happens when they stretch a...

Young mathematicians find the area and perimeter of shaded shapes on a grid of unit squares. The sheets challenge class members to find the volume of various solid prisms. Each questions also includes the total value of suggest...

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:...

Students explore satellite data and graphing. In this weather data analysis math and science lesson, students analyze NASA satellite data to draw conclusions about geographical areas where precipitation might have happened. Students...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

First graders observe examples of the three states of matter and identify matter in each of the three states. They make glitter wands to remind them of the three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas. Pupils brainstorm and record...

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...

Young geometers need a clear understanding of perimeter, volume, and area. This lesson provides a worksheet to help small groups of learners to calculate various measurements of objects and choose the proper units for measurement. It...
