Learners make three dimensional shapes with nets. For 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...

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...

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!

An outstanding activity on teaching the basic shapes and polygon names to young geometers is here for you. In it, learners investigate the role of basic polygons in the strength of structures. They use geoboards, rubber bands, streamed...

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...

In this molecules worksheet, students answer post lab questions about types of bonds, factors that determine polarity and molecular geometry. They calculate electronegativity differences in atoms and determine the types of bonds between...

Investigate the properties of three-dimensional figures with this Arctic-themed math activity. Beginning with a class discussion about different types of solid figures present in the classroom, young mathematicians are then given a...

Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Students sketch the nets for given polygons and cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students find the measurements that correspond with prisms, cones and cylinders. they identify parts of three-dimensional shapes.

Students differentiate triangular prisms from other prisms using nets. In this geometry instructional activity, students define the properties of a triangular prism and its symmetry. They build a triangular prism moving lines around.

Students identify and sketch the nets for sphere. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between two and three dimensional shapes. They find the surface area of each sphere.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Pupils compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they draw...

Students respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label for...

Young scholars learn how to identify cell addresses, format cell contents, add pop-up comments to a cell, and also apply conditional formatting. They use clues and words to make a geometry crossword puzzle pertaining to geometrical shapes.

Students calculate the surface area of prisms. For this geometry lesson, students investigate the properties of prisms and analyze ways to calculate the are of a rectangular prism. They derive the formula for surface area.

Students investigate the concepts of geometry that can be grouped into a flip book that can be used for teaching and review purposes. They define the differences between two and three dimensional figures. Also polygons are reviewed and...

Eighth graders become engaged in a lesson in geometry to improve mathematical skills. They construct triangles, segments, and points using Geometer's Sketchpad to demonstrate how dilations of triangles and rectangles change geometric...

Learners find the length of the arc of a circle. In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the length of an arc and find the measure of the central angle given the length of the arc. They convert between linear and...

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. 

Eighth graders explore three-dimensional objects (prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones) to draw nets. They use the understanding of drawing nets to find the surface area of pyramids and cylinders.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Learners calculate the surface area and volume of a sphere. For this geometry lesson, students define nets, surface areas and volume of prisms, pyramids, cylinders and cones. They use the computer to create nets and analyze shapes.

Here is a turnkey lesson that walks young statisticians through the development and uses of conditional probability. From dice games to surveys, Venn diagrams to frequency tables, the class learns how a given can effect the overall...
