When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory...

In this fraction lesson, students manipulate paper by folding it to create different shapes and sizes, they explore the concept of fractions, and discuss their observations as a class. This is a great lesson for getting students...

Students indentify whether an objects reflects or absorbs red, green, and/or blue light. They create a simple spectral signature.

Pupils work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

In this math worksheet, students find all the vectors in three dimensional space that have the length of 4. Also, the first and third components are the same. Finally, the second component is the sum of the first and third components.

Geometric shapes are really cool. Examine triangles, quadrilaterals, trapezoids, rhombuses, parallelograms, pentagons, and hexagons with your class. They draw large shapes and small shapes then compare them to understand their shapely...

In this completing shape sentences worksheet, students fill in 23 blanks in 12 sentences with 18 terms used to describe 3-D shapes.

Third graders engage in a lesson plan that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while following the...

In this trig learning exercise, 11th graders investigate the 6 trigonometry identities and their cofunctions. They use them to solve trig problems as related to right triangles. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

Students respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label for...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the volume and total surface area of a given circle. Then, students find the height and radius of a cylinder...

In this volume and surface area learning exercise, 10th graders solve and complete 12 different types of problems. First, they find the volume of an isosceles trapezoid. Then, students find the volume and total surface area of a sphere....

In this solids worksheet, students compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

For this geometry worksheet, 10th graders investigate and solve various logic problems including the constructions and use of two way tables and Venn diagrams to assist in problem solving.  The eleven page worksheet contains nine...

Second graders identify the attributes of various shapes and estimate the weight of the objects. In this geometry lesson plan, 2nd graders identify the attributes of concrete objects and use a pan balance to weight them.

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders solve for missing sides and angles of a triangle. They use the pythagorean theorem to solve for the unknown in a right triangle. There are 5 questions on this worksheet.

In this understanding triangles worksheet, students read 6 pages of examples and explanations about identifying triangles, determining length of sides and degrees of angles, including the hypotenuse, then answer 28 questions, answers...

In this algebra worksheet, students rewrite word problems using algebraic symbols and solve for the related rates. There are 10 word problems involving derivatives and rates.

Students investigate polygons and their lattice. In this calculus lesson, students record data using different methods. They analyze their data and draw conclusions based on the relationship between the area and the interior lattice.

Middle schoolers compare and contrast related two- and three-dimensional shapes, and complete a Venn diagram illustrating the attributes of each. Using a poem pattern from another lesson, students use data from the diagram to write an...

Students, in groups, use song lyrics and math to descrie two and three dimensional shapes.

Second graders read poetry and build their vocabulary through use of the puppet Geo George.

Students listen to a story "My Crazy Dream" with an intent to identify shapes in ordinary objects. They raise their hands when they've heard an object whose shape they can identify. They discuss their findings.
