Build the Castle: Shape Challenge

Three-dimensional shapes can be categorized based on their attributes, and scholars learn more about six figures through this sorting activity. They examine six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid....

The sorting is simple here: Does this three-dimensional figure have a curved surface or not? Scholars review an example before trying this on their own with nine figures including a sphere, cylinder, prism, cube,...

Blow your learners' minds with a sweet lesson on nanotechnology that uses sugar to demonstrate the difference nanoscale surface area makes in dissolving and crystal formation. Plenty of supportive background information is read to...

An outstanding lesson on teaching the basic shapes and polygon names to young geometers is here for you. In it, learners investigate the role of basic polygons in the strength of structures. They use geoboards, rubber bands, streamed...

Be sure to use this sweet resource. Scholars perform an experiment using sugar to investigate how surface area relates to the coarseness of sugar. They consider how this concept connects to nanotechnology.

In a two-part worksheet, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals explore...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video overview on the flat surfaces or faces of three dimensional shapes.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video shows how to count the number of flat surfaces on various 3D shapes. The video is followed by practice problems.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] The video shows various 3D shapes and describes the flat surfaces that comprise the 3D shape and those 3D objects that don't contain flat surfaces.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on how to count the number of faces in various three dimensional shapes.
