Explore the world of solid shapes in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition, interactive examples, and interesting practice questions that help with understanding.

Provides a list of area and perimeter formulas for two-dimensional shapes and volume and surface area formulas for three-dimensional solids.

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Learn the mathematics behind modeling in three dimensions to maximize or minimize one aspect of the situation.

Introduces the concept of 3D shapes by learning the definition, types, properties, and three dimensions. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.

The young scholars will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a rectangular prism. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a rectangular prism. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the...

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,...

Use this calculator to determine the volume, surface area, or other figure for a square pyramid, given the other numbers. Users set their parameters for two known variables of the pyramid and find what the unknown amounts would be.

Middle schoolers explore surface area and volume through this lesson plan and worksheet activity.

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

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 instructional activity, 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...

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...
