Three-Dimensional Figures

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Who knew there were so many parts to a geometric solid?! Well, you probably did, and your pupils will, too, after watching a video lesson on three-dimensional figures. Instruction includes a description of the parts of solids, naming solids, and drawing solids. The instructor includes spheres, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and prisms to cover all the bases.
