Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson plan, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.

For this solid and plane figure worksheet, students pick which solid figure they could trace to make the plane figure shown. Students complete 4 multiple choice questions.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

Students measure planes and solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students find the area and perimeter of different polygons.They complete a word puzzle to review their vocabulary words.

Fourth graders identify and classify different triangles and quadrilaterals. Then they demonstrate an understanding of plane and solid geometric objects and use this knowledge to show relationships and solve specific problems. Students...

Students examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson plan, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

In this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which object in an illustration has a flat side the same shape as the box shown. Then they look at other shapes and identify the ones with a flat side, if any.

Students investigate basic geometric concepts. In this geometry lesson, students explore solids through measuring and modeling. This assignment models the importance of understanding concrete objects in geometry.      

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

Third graders use various shapes to identify polygons and understand symmetry. They explore pattern blocks noticing their similarities and differences, then share with other team members. They draw 3 polygons in their journals and...

Time to move into the third dimension! Learn the names of the geometric solids and count faces, edges, and vertices. Then learn to recognize nets that create a given solid. 

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this instructional activity to...

Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Fifth graders connect their knowledge of polygons and polyhedrons. For this geometric shapes lesson, 5th graders identify and classify two- and three-dimensional objects. Students construct a polyhedron out of polygons and describe their...

In this solid figures worksheet, students read the word problems about the solid figures and find the figure that follows the rule.

Students identify the types and characteristics of geometric figures. In this lighthouse geometric lesson plan, students review shapes that represent plane or solid.  They select items that could be used to construct a lighthouse...

Fourth graders compare and contrast gliding flight and true flight. They investigate the basic principles of aeronautics. The class participates in activities to observe lift and the effect of air. Students design and fly their own...

Pupils practice measuring the interior angles of given regular polygons and create a formula for finding the measure of th interior angles of any polygon. They determine the relationships between the number of vertices's or sides in a...

Students view a right triangle displayed by the teacher. Students measure legs and the interior angles of the triangle. They look for a pattern or relationship between the legs and angles. Students use pegboards and string to create more...

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Learners explore the concept of "shape affects speed" through a series of experiments. In this physics activity, students participate in an experiment in which various objects are released on an inclined plane. Speed and distance are...

In this rectangles and shapes worksheet, students complete a variety of exercises including counting the number of faces on a solid object, coloring solids to match nets and coloring plane shapes. Students check their answers online as...
