Young mathematicians find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid and a cone. In what looks like a typical activity out of a textbook, you'll find an activity where learners find an unknown measurement of a pyramid or...

High schoolers determine the surface area of the Luxor Hotel, using the square feet of the base, volume, and the volume formula. They create a scale model of the triangular/pyramid shaped hotel.

Are pyramids and cones similar in definition to prisms and cylinders? By examining the definitions, pupils determine that pyramids and cones are subsets of general cones. Working in groups, they continue to investigate the relationships...

In this geometry worksheet, students cut out the pattern for a triangular-pyramid net. They cut the pattern on the dotted lines and fold it to make a three-dimensional study model.

Go beyond the basic formulas and uncover the surface area and volume of 3-D shapes with this comprehensive and organized worksheet packet. The problems include the basic formula computations while also challenging your learners to derive...

In this geometry worksheet, students are given the length, width and height of a triangle and are asked to calculate the volume. This is a 8 question problem solving worksheet with an answer key.

In this 3-D folding objects worksheet, students cut out the model to fold and create a triangular pyramid. No instructions are included.

Students calculate the height and altitude of a pyramid. In this geometry lesson, students define the parts that make up a pyramid. They use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the missing parts of a pyramid.

Students enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this lesson to create 3 dimensional...

In this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms learning exercise, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

Students explore pyramids. In this math lesson, students discuss where they have seen examples of pyramids. Students classify pyramids as three-dimensional figures and identify their attributes.

Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.

Name that shape! This simple worksheet has learners identify each geometric figure. They examine rectangular prisms, cylinders, rectangular pyramids, and hexagonal prisms. This one-page worksheet contains 8 problems, and the goals seems...

In this volume of solids activity, tenth graders solve and complete 20 various types of problems. First, they write the formula needed to find the volume of each solid. Then, pupils use the Pythagorean theorem to find the measure of the...

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple worksheet prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Students compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area instructional activity, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, students use their computers to determine...

Sixth graders describe the defining characteristics of major world civilizations from political, social, and economic perspectives. They compare and contrast the religions in terms of leaders, beliefs and locations.

What a wonderful resource! Learners create two-dimensional shapes according to the instructions stated, use the squares to make a triangular prism, a cube, and a pyramid, and identify features of plane shapes, among a myriad of other...

Get in shape with a series of worksheets about making 3-D geometric shapes. Learners use the example at the top of the page to model their shapes, which range from a simple cube or cone to a more complicated octagonal pyramid.

What are the best foods to eat, and how much is too much? Kids discuss the importance of eating the right amount of each of the four food groups. They discuss the food pyramid and make meals by cutting and pasting foods from a magazine...
