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...

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...

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

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...

For this math worksheet, students describe the properties of various 3D shapes. Students tell about faces, edges and corners and name the geometric figures.

Have your class use online activities to recognize the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They will listen to their teacher describe a mystery shape and try to guess it. Additionally they will watch clips online about a 2D shape...

Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they...

Aspiring astronauts construct a space vehicle using cylinders, cones, spheres, and rectangular prisms. This is an engaging method of learning about three-dimensional shapes. Note that the word cylinder is constantly misspelled in the...

Students investigate nets as they relate to volume and area. In this geometry lesson, students use nets as a visual to deepen their understanding of surface area and volume of objects. They make conjectures about different objects and...

In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.

In this formulas instructional activity, students write the area, perimeter, and volume formulas of 17 2D and 3D polygons.  Students list properties of various types of triangles and the metric conversions for metric units.

Students create three dimensional shapes using concept maps. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the impact of mental schemas on humans. They collect data on this topic and plot their data on a coordinate plane.

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

Young scholars design their own playground equipment. In this design lesson plan, students take pictures of equipment they like and make a class pictograph of their favorite ones. They investigate the design, research equipment around...

Students utilize the Poison Boxes activity on The Nature Park is used to practice the recognition of 2D shapes and their properties. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Students identify shapes that match specific shape descriptions involving a range of geometric terms and correct polygon names. They utilize a mathematics educational software program to gain practice.

Students define ellipses and their properties. In this calculus lesson, students analyze ellipses for their shape, center, major and minor axes. They create a paper ellipse to have a visual of what an ellipse really looks like in 3D.

Students create a bridge using engineering and geometric concepts. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the missing measures of polygons sides and angles. They work together to solve real life situation using...

Fourth graders participate in a math game that involves practicing their equivalent fraction skills in the advanced multiplication stage seven. They assess their ability skills of equivalent fractions to match twenty seven dominoes on...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...
