A collection of two lessons, kindergartners will identify two-dimensional shapes in solid shapes. They will develop basic knowledge of the components that make up a sphere, rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and cube. Young...

From the apple on your desk and the coffee cup in your hand, to the cabinets along the classroom wall, basic three-dimensional shapes are found everywhere in the world around us. Introduce young mathematicians to the these common figures...

Students examine volumes of solids of revolution. In this volumes of solids of revolution lesson, students use the limit of a Riemann sum to find the volumes of disks or cylinders and a sphere.

The objectives in the resource allow students to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart. Lastly,...

Expose youngsters to 3-D objects in a hands-on learning activity involving marshmallows and toothpicks. Engage your young mathematicians by introducing them to 3-D shapes by means of a story book. Explore 3-D shapes by manipulating...

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple activity prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

In this solid shapes worksheet, students read descriptions of solid shapes, then label a set of pictures with either box, cylinder, pyramid or cone. 

Figure out the correct name for different three-dimensional shapes by watching the presentation on solid figures. Go through the main figures and read about the characteristics of each. Finish the topic with a multiple choice online...

In this metric measurement worksheet, students solve 20 fill in the blank questions related to metric measurement, converting metric units, area of rectangles, picture graphs, patterns, geometric shapes. Students then convert 9...

Pupils investigate solid shapes. In this geometry lesson, students take pictures of solid shapes and classify their pictures according to the vocabulary terms: edge, face and vertex. Pupils present their findings to the class.

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Students visit a local lake refuge and identify shapes they find in nature. They take pictures of the various shapes and use KidPix to draw shapes around the shapes in the pictures. They watch a slideshow of all the shapes found by their...

In this solid shapes worksheet, learners count and name shapes, write the names of missing shapes, write about the difference between a rectangular prism and cube and build designs.

In this solid shapes reteaching worksheet, 1st graders review solids in a box at the top of the page. They see examples of a sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, and a rectangular prism. They circle the objects with the same shape as the one...

Middle schoolers engage in a lesson that is concerned with finding the volume of a solid. They investigate and describe the characteristics of a favorite food and identify it as metal or non-metal. The lesson includes pictures of...

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

Here are six solid figures for learners to identify. The names are listed along the left side and the shapes pictured on the right. Each shape is shown as a familiar object instead of just a drawing. Figures include a cylinder,...

Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

For this shape matching game worksheet, students cut out the 7 pictured shape cards and the 7 written description cards. Students match the shape cards to the appropriate description cards as they play the memory game.

In this identifying faces of solid figures worksheet, students solve each of the 6 problems that require them to identify the faces of a cylinder, box, cone, and pyramid.

Math scholars observe and demonstrate how to calculate the surface area and volume of cylinders. They analyze pictures of various cylinders on a handout, solve problems on two worksheets independently, and discuss the answers to the...

First graders explore geometric shapes. For this math lesson, 1st graders sort shapes into groups and discuss the characteristics of the shapes. Students build geometric shapes using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Plastic math? Have young learners count and name the number of plastic items in their centers. Kindergartners match sight word cards to the number of plastics in a given group, while learning that plastics come in all different shapes,...
