In this exploration, students will apply their knowledge of finding volume and surface area of cylinders and rectangular prisms. Students will make recommendations to the local movie theater after determining which package is cost...

In this lesson, students will estimate several dimensions of circles in everyday objects. Students will use the metric and customary systems for their estimations. This lesson plan was created by exemplary Alabama Math Teachers through...

In this lesson, students will be required to generate a formula for volume of a rectangular prism. Students working in cooperative groups will use prior knowledge for finding area of a rectangle to determine the "amount of area in a...

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...

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

Use this interactive tool to explore prisms. Change the height and the shape of the base to see how these affect the prism. There are also several additional options, e.g., making it oblique or transparent. Properties of a prism are...

Use this interactive tool to explore pyramids. Rotate the pyramid to view it from all sides. Increase the number of sides (even to well over 100) until it closely resembles a cone. The base can be made irregular and you can 'explode' the...

The online assessment displays knowledge of concepts used in Geometry. The multiple choice questions test learners on calculating the surface area of solid figures.

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart discusses plane figures and solid figures. The definitions and lesson sequence are based on Scott Foresman's Grade 4 Math textbook.

Use the shapes provided and figure out how they fit together to make a 3 X 3 cube at this one page website. The solution is readily available right at the website.

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.

For 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...

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

Match 3D objects with their 2D cross-sections. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this exercise, students practice comparing volumes with unit cubes. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

Identify the parts of 3D shapes in this assessment.

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.

In this exercise, students practice finding the surface area of 3D objects. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to get hints and try questions repeatedly.

This site gives a short interactive quiz which allows students to self-assess their understanding of the concept of finding the surface area of prisms and cylinders.

Describing 3D shapes in Pre-K and Kindergarten is now an expectation as it is a key geometry standard. This resource contains 3D shapes activities and resources for practicing this standard. Included are chants, videos, games, poetry,...

This interactive exercise focuses on volume equations, measurement, and problem solving skills to compare the volume of 3D figures constructed from similar amounts of construction materials.

In this lesson, students will learn to identify three-dimensional shapes by name and distinguish between two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes.
