In this geometry learning exercise, 10th graders determine the lateral area, surface area, and volume of pyramids and prisms.  The one page learning exercise contains five problems.  Answers are not included. 

First graders use Kidspiration to sort solid figures by the number of faces. They work in pairs with a set of solid figures. Students sort them according to the number of faces, or whether or not it can roll, slide, be stacked. Students...

You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Students design a rectangular box without a lid that has the largest possible volume using the supplied sheet of centimeter graph paper. They work in groups to construct different size boxes to determine the largest possible volume and...

Students explore space shapes learning about edges, corners, and faces. They enjoy shape soup as a culminating activity.

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. 

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

The history of math is fascinating! Utilize a woodcut primary source image from 1492 and posters from the 1930s to help geometers apply their volume-calculation skills to real-life questions. 

Sixth graders use toothpicks and gumdrops to make prisms and pyramids. This helps them explore the relationship betweeen faces, vertices, and edges.

In this solids worksheet, students compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

A fabulous four-page assignment explores volume formulae for rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, and pyramids. Pupils apply the formulas to solve problems, match diagrams to values, and address real-world scenarios. A detailed answer...

Fifth graders explore three-dimensional figures. As a class, they discuss the characteristics of various three-dimensional figures. In groups, 5th graders write riddles describing the geometric shape. Partners read each other's...

After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Test your scholars' knowledge of a multitude of concepts with an assessment aligned to the California math standards. Using the exam, class members show what they know about the four operations, positive and negative numbers, statistics...

Examine the surface area of composite figures using an exploratory approach. As a continuation of the previous lesson plan of the 29-part series, young scholars develop plans for finding the surface area of composite figures. Examples...

Finalize the plans before playing in the sand. Learners design sandcastles using geometric and composite figures. They create blueprints, including the scale, and three-dimensional models of their castles. Finally, scholars calculate the...

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve problems that involve area of a rectangular prism and lateral area of a pyramid. The one page interactive worksheet contains five problems. Answers are not provided. 

In this solid shapes worksheet, students read descriptions of solid shapes, then label a set of pictures with either box, cylinder, pyramid or cone. 

In this identifying faces of solid figures worksheet, students solve each of the 6 problems that require them to identify the faces of a cylinder, box, cone, and pyramid.

In this identifying solid figures worksheet, students name each solid figure, write the number of faces, vertices, and edges, and solve a word problem. Students solve seven problems.

In this solid figures worksheet, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.
