Painting a Barn
When painting a barn you have to calculate surface area, and that is exactly what this resource is about. Not only will your future home owners calculate the surface area, but also the cost. It is a real-life problem that every that...
Beyond Benign
Scale the Wall
How can you fit an entire school on one sheet of paper? You use scale! Scholars measure rooms in the school and, using the correct scale, design a floor plan that includes area calculations with their data.

Dimension in Art
Third graders consider space and the techniques artists use to create three-dimensionality within a painting or drawing. They examine works by Millet, Bruegel and Demuth and then create original drawings that explore the effects of...
Curated OER
Cubes Everywhere
Students use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and take...

Volume Worksheet I
In this volume worksheet, students recognize three-dimensional figures, identify the proper volume formula, and then solve the equation by inserting information from a diagram into the formula. Students solve six equations.
Curated OER
Down The Line
Learnersinvestigate three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, pupils calculate the volume of cylinders using the given dimensions. They create a formula base don observation before using the real formula.

If I Had a Robot
Students study writing. In this creative writing instructional activity, students write a story about having a robot and make a three-dimensional robot to accompany their writing.
Curated OER
Where's the Point?: Two-Point Perspective in Texas Bird's-Eye Views
Students investigate how the Texas bird's-eye-view artists used two-point perspective to create their aerial views and consider the directions from which the artists oriented their views. They produce two drawings in tow-point perspective.
