Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Pupils study pyramids. In this prisms lesson, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Pupils will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.

Eighth graders experiment to decide if a box that is twice as big holds twice a much. They work the concept of volume and how changing dimensions affect it.

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

Students will play learning games to practice identifying and creating 3-dimensional figures.

In this enrichment game, the nets for nine solids are displayed. The twist is that each net has been cut into two pieces. The challenge is find the pieces that go together.

During this activity, students will create nets for prisms. They will find the volume and surface area of the shapes. They will also use interactive activities to review three-dimensional shapes.This lesson plan was created as a result...

Practice matching 2D nets to the 3D shapes the fold up into. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.

In this exercise, students practice finding the surface area using nets. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

A "three star geometry problem" requiring knowledge of how to complete geometric proofs and some prior math skills to figure the shortest distance between the opposite corners of a cuboid.

Use this tool to see animated models of over 100 different types of polyhedra. There are five options for how they appear, and you can also see the net, 'explode' the solid so that the faces are separated, or drag it to rotate it...

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

Practice using the net of a 3D figure to find surface area. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

The learners will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a square pyramid. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a square pyramid. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

In this project, you will make 2-dimensional templates, called nets, that fold up into 3-dimensional (3-D) shapes. By making shapes of different sizes, you will be able to see how 3-D shapes change with size. In your findings you will...

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Students will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a triangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a triangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...
