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...

A dimensional resource teaches viewers to recognize 2-D views of 3-D objects and how to match nets with their 3-D figures. Individuals draw different views of three-dimensional objects including views from the front, side...

Students investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

A two-part lesson introduces young historians to the work of famous African American inventors. Groups first research and develop a presentation of an inventor that includes biographical information and information about one of their...

Young mathematicians may not love fractions, but do they love sandwiches? How about cake? Use this visual fractions activity to represent fractions in a relatable way. Scholars start by coloring segmented shapes to indicate halves and...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again, you can add art to any lesson! While little learners are discovering why fish have specific body parts such as, scales, fins, and gills, they start making three-dimensional fish forms. Children...

In this transformations and translations in Geometry worksheet, learners use geometric shapes and grids to translate six transformations in each of two activities.

Have your class use compasses to try to find the magnetic field around an electric current. Groups use the same technique to visualize magnetic fields as they did in the second activity in the series, but this time, the field is...

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

Students create a three-dimensional book about landscapes. They must show their understanding of shape, color and balance.

Students examine works of art that convey the idea of working together and analyze how artists use foreground, middle ground, and background. They use two-and three-dimensional materials to create a work of art.

In this spatial relations worksheet, students solve three-dimensional problems. They find the total number of triangles in a given figure, the number of line segments that endpoints and use integer points to solve two problems. This...

Students evaluate visual arts by creating furniture designs. In this three dimensional art lesson, students utilize the web to examine different artist renderings of furniture, sculpture and architecture. Students utilize paint to create...

Third graders examine two-dimensional objects and create a 3-D image of the object. They make models of the Taj Mahal and buildings in Delhi.

Fifth graders will be predicting and describing the results of sliding, flipping, and turning two-dimensional shapes. They will also understand patterns so they can describe, extend, and make generalizations about geometric and numeric...

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...

High schoolers analyze characteristics and properties of two and three-dimensional shapes in this geometry lesson. They follow detailed directions to use the Cabri Geometry II Application on their TI-89 calculator to construct a...

Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.

Students identify and sort a variety of two- and three-dimensional objects and compare and contrast their attributes. They identify shapes, locate shapes on the faces of solids, sort real objects and explain the sorting rule, and...
