In 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...

Explore surface areas and nets with 2D and 3D shapes.

Practice matching 2D nets to the 3D shapes the fold up into. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

In this enrichment game, the nets for nine solids are displayed. The twist is that each net has been cut into two pieces. The challenge is find the pieces that go together.

During this activity, middle schoolers 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...

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore cross sections and nets of three dimensional objects. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

Brain binders are great teacher sources for problem solving and critical thinking with geometry. Students fold sheets of paper to create solid colors on each side. Various levels are included starting with two folds through five folds.

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

Use this tool to see animated models of over 100 different types of polyhedra. There are five options for how they appear, and you can also see the net, 'explode' the solid so that the faces are separated, or drag it to rotate it...

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

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

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.

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Young scholars will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

The students 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 total...

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

Students will play learning games to practice identifying and creating 3-dimensional figures.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

How many different cuboids can you make? Learn how and learn how to represent data with your results.
