Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...

Fourth graders examine the properties of geometric solids. Given geometric figures, they brainstorm observations. In groups, 4th graders identify solids and discuss the physical properties. Each student creates a Venn diagram and...

In this geometry assessment learning exercise, students match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.

In this 2D figure worksheet, learners pick which figure they are given. Students choose from 4 figures in each of the 4 problems they are asked.

Students compute the surface area of 3 geometric solids to determine the shape of package that would require the least amount of paper to wrap. In this geometry lesson, students work on a two-question assessment embedded in the plan. The...

In this three-dimensional graphing learning exercise students identify the coordinates of the vertex of shown figures. The first three shapes show all answers. The following 8 shapes are on coordinate dot paper, with all three axis shown...

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes according to sentences that describe them. Students identify 8 shapes, but have 14 to choose from.

In this 2-D shapes worksheet, learners match a set of descriptions to shapes given. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Students use magazines and other food pictures to arrange healthy meals onto construction paper.

Students discover facts about ancient Egypt and find information and pictures of structures in Egypt. They write a story using as many hieroglyphic symbols as possible. Stories are made into a display on bulletin board.

Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.

[Accessible by TX Educators. Free Registration/Login Required] Learn how to calculate the volume of a pyramid and how this compares to the volume of a prism. Then solve problems about the volume of rectangular and triangular pyramids....

Students learn about the terminology and formulas associated with a triangular pyramid. The learning resource consists of facts and an interactive spinning triangular pyramid.

A detailed set of tasks for investigating the volume of prisms and pyramids.

Surface area of pyramids is explored in this video resource. The lesson includes three detailed examples using a square, hexagonal, and triangular pyramid.

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,...

This question and answer site from the Math Forum with Dr. Math presents a problem dealing with the volume of a pyramid. Links are also provided for additional information on related subjects.

In this activity, students use manipulatives to construct a pyramid. The manipulative pyramid then becomes the basis students use to construct a pictorial representation of a pyramid. The TI-10 is used to show symbolic representation of...

An illustration of two pyramids. A pyramid is a building where the upper surfaces are triangular and converge on one point. The base of pyramids are usually quadrilateral or trilateral (but generally may be of any polygon shape), meaning...

At this one page website a variety of polyhedra are shown. The challenge is to create the skeleton for each polyhedron and identify the needed materials. You can check your solution right at the website.
