The 3 types of angles

Unfold the faces of a three-dimensional figure. Scholars define a net and determine whether drawings are nets or not. They compare nets with their associated 3-D figures and identify the various faces to finish the 16th segment in a...

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on to learn the...

How much sugar is in one bottle? Pupils use double number line diagrams to determine the amount of sugar in a 1L bottle of cola. The teacher leads a discussion on ways that double number lines can be of assistance in solving a problem...

Challenge your class with this place value activity. There are ten sets of four numbers, and they use three number from each set, to construct the smallest number possible. This is a great game to play prior to introducing decimals and...

Students understand that a three sisters garden is comprised of corn, beans and squash. In this three sisters garden lesson plan, students understand that Native Americans planted three sisters gardens and grow a three sisters garden....

Introduce the idea of three dimensional figures by creating nets. Learners watch how nets can be folded up to create the figure of their choice. The goal is to match a net with the correct 3-D figure.   

Investigate the properties of three-dimensional figures with this Arctic-themed math instructional activity. Beginning with a class discussion about different types of solid figures present in the classroom, young mathematicians are then...

Students identify three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson, students review three-dimensional geometric shapes and their characteristics. Students create cones, rectangular prisms, and cylinders from photocopied patterns.

Triangles, triangles, triangles. What makes a polygon a triangle? How many types of triangles are there? How do you determine what kind of triangle it is? Watch this video as the teacher explains 'tri' meaning three, making a triangle -...
