Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

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...

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...

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes lesson, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

Students identify and match pictures of three dimensional shapes while playing a board game with peers. They take turns with their partners in spinning the spinner and moving to the next space on the game board that shows the same shape.

In this 3D shapes learning exercise, students cut out the 3D shape on the page and fold on the lines to create the correct shape. The learning exercise states which shape should be build with the cut-out.

This two-part reading comprehension exercise asks kids to read a short passage about cubes, rectangular prisms, spheres and pyramids, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

Students make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets lesson, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the net. They use the...

Students identify and correctly name three-dimensional solids; cones, spheres, and cubes. In this three-dimensional figures lesson, students  build a cube by matching colored square faces to a correct word. Students then...

Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Fourth graders identify and describe lines, shapes, and solids using formal geometric language. They use Inspiration to create a graphic organizer and outline of polygons.

Young scholars identify and categorize different problem situations or contexts using one of four measurements to solve the problem. Through guided and independent practice, they discover ways to determine which measurement to use when...

In this area and volume worksheet, students calculate the area, volume, and length of sides of different cubes. Students complete this for 3 cubes and answer 3 questions.

In this volume worksheet, students list the steps they would use to find the volume of different gallon tanks. Students complete 5 measurement problems.

In this surface area of a cube learning exercise, students answer short answer questions on how to find the surface area and calculating the equation for different problems. Students answer 7 questions.

First graders explore geometric shapes. In this math instructional activity, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Students explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

Students investigate circles and spheres. In this space shapes lesson, students compare and contrast two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Students investigate the relationship between plane and space shapes.

Students listen to the poem "Shapes" by Shel Silverstein in order to accurately and specifically describe shapes' rules/traits in their journals. They illustrate the poem and take turns reading during a creative shared reading session.

Students calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.

Students investigate the Pythagorean Theorem.  For this seventh through twelfth grade geometery lesson, students explore the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse and use it to find the length of the missing side of a right...
