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...

Pupils engage in an activity where one partner reads directions while the other follows those directions to complete a math task (such as bisecting an angle). As a reflection, they examine products to see what information the best...

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.

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...

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 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.

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 area of shapes unit, upper graders participate in hands-on problem solving activities to find the formulas for the area of a parallelogram, a triangle, and a trapezoid. They manipulate the geoboard to explore relationships among...

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...

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...

Students identify positive and negative angles using the Unit Circle. In this pre-calculus lesson, students identify the different angles on a unit circle using the coordinate plane and the four different quadrants as a guide. They...

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.

If we stack up all the cross sections of a figure, does it create the figure? Pupils make the connection between the complete set of cross sections and the solid. They then view videos in order to see how 3D printers use Cavalerie's...

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...

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...

Hands-on investigation of Riemann sums becomes possible without intensive arithmetic gymnastics with this interactive lesson plan. Learners manipulate online graphing tools to develop and test theories about right, left, and...

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

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 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 create an image using given coordinates and evaluate how the coordinates change when a slide or rotation takes place.

Students show the correlation between quadrilaterals, parallelograms, rectangles and squares.

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...
