Curated OER
Exploring Arrangements of 2, 3, 4, and 5 Cubes
Students construct models of various tricubes, tetracubes, and pentacubes that are possible, classify n-cubes into different groupings, and draw these figures on isometric dot paper giving true perspective to what they visualize.
Curated OER
Looking For Triangles
Students solve problems with triangles. In this geometry instructional activity, students analyze shapes to find different triangles. They name the shapes created by putting triangles together.
