Learners examine objects and find their volumes using geometric formulas in the 21st installment of this 25-part module. Objects take the shape of truncated cones and pyramids, and individuals apply concepts of similar triangles to find...

In this math worksheet, students read about the truncated tetrahedron and then create a paper model. It should look like a solid comprised of 4 regular hexagonal faces, 4 regular triangular. faces, 12 vertices and 18 edges.

For this math worksheet, students use a paper model to build a truncated icosidodecahedron. The worksheet includes a model that is to be cut out and put together by the student. There is an option to include a small preview of the...

In this math worksheet, students build a model of a truncated icosahedron. This shape has 12 regular pentagonal faces and 20 regular hexagonal faces. An option to include a preview of the finished model is included for the teacher.

In this math worksheet, students build a truncated dodecahedron. This is a solid shape with 12 regular decagonal faces and 20 equilateral triangular faces. Students build this shape to assist in developing their cognitive and geometric...

Students examine Boolean operators, truncation, exact phrase searching to retrieve information from search engines. They discover how using limits enhances their searches.

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

In this areas and volumes worksheet, learners find the area of truncated cones and elliptical cylinders.  They find the area by using one of three methods:  the disk method, the shell method, and using geometry.  This...

In this math worksheet, students practice using the program of Matlab and apply them while using functions. They practice writing equations in truncated form.

"If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough" - Albert Einstein. The sixth installment of a seven-part series teaches young scientists about the importance of being able to communicate scientific research and...

Everyone wants to have the biggest snow cone possible, so would that be in cone-shaped cup or a more cylinder-style cup? Hungry geometry juniors compute the volume of each in this practical task.

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...

Brilliant graphics depict a variety of allotropes, especially the allotropes of carbon. Some notes are available to help make these useful for teaching your young chemists, but not for every slide. With some additional preparation on...

Is it possible to add infinitely long decimals? As pupils complete the examples in the ninth instructional activity of this 25-part series, they determine that adding these decimals cannot be done without error. Their task is then to...

In this different dice instructional activity, 9th graders read about the use of octahedrons as dice, review the probability with cubical dice, then answer the question of probability when rolling 2 octahedral dice.

In this 3D shapes worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 5 various types of problems. First, they find the area of the logo item shown. Then, students find the height of a cuboid given its length and width. In addition, they circle...
