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 use concrete and graphic models to derive formulas for finding perimeter, area, surface area, circumference, and volume of two- and three-dimensional shapes. This lesson is a fun way to practice measurement and circle and...

Learners analyze different polygons by shapes and sides. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate between similar and congruent polygons. They name the different polygons based on the number of sides.

In this algebra worksheet, students solve inequalities using addition, subtractions and multiplication. They graph the inequalities with shading. There are 2 questions.

First graders investigate symmetry in patterns by utilizing unifix cubes.  In this pattern lesson, 1st graders practice creating patterns that are perfectly symmetrical no matter which way it's looked at.  Students utilize...

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...

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.

Sixth graders experiment with dice, playing cards, pennies and computer-generated simulations to calculate probability. They use compiled data to make predictions.

High schoolers practice representing problems found in the real world in terms that can be translated into mathematical expressions. The situations are represented in tables and graphs by students.

Fifth graders create a net for a given polyhedron. They determine the corresponding polyhedron for a given net. Students investigate several polyhedra (cube, tetrahedron, and one of their choosing) and their corresponding nets. They...

Ninth graders investigate the concept of a tetrahedron and how it is formed with its congruent faces. They practice making the shape by practicing the folding paper to create the shape. Students continue the lesson with the estimation...

Fifth graders record measurements and calculate the volume. They select and use appropriate units and procedures to measure volume # use tools such as technology to solve problems

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

First graders identify basic shapes (circle, square, rectangle, triangle) and describes the attributes of each. They use magazines to find examples of each shape, and then make a collage.

Students separate plastics according to their densities, develop a method for separation and identify variables in an experiment and a fair test, changing only one variable at a time for a fair comparison. After testing, they develop a...

Students use their county's information page to gather information about their community. Using the information, they create graphs from the tables provided and interpret the data. They write a paragraph showing their interpretation of...

Fifth graders describe patterns as relations and functions. In this patterning instructional activity, 5th graders analyze and continue patterns. Students understand how patterns relate to relations and functions.

Bring a set of pre-lab, lab, and post-lab lesson plans on volcanoes to your earth science unit. Sixth graders explore the three types of volcanoes found on Earth, plot the specific locations of these volcanoes on a map, and...

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.

Students read the book Flat Stanley. For this environmental stewardship lesson, students participate in earth-friendly activities based upon the book. This lesson includes ideas such as using recycled paper to make a "paper pal."

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of three-dimensional figures. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It"...

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,...

A ten-question test for assessing geometry concepts with solid figures. This assessment is scored online providing students with immediate feedback. Great for use as an assessment tool.
