Young scholars create a geometric pattern using mandalas, polygons and symmetry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the mathematics involved in making the mandalas, including the shapes and symmetry. Young scholars create their...

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 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...

Students analyze convex polyhedra through hands on methods. In this geometrical shapes lesson, students construct paper models of convex polyhedra and identify the different properties including the number of sides, faces and edges.

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality lesson,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th graders write a...

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

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,...

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.

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

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.

A "three star geometry problem" requiring knowledge of how to complete geometric proofs to prove that there are no more than five regular convex polyhedra.
