For this pyramids worksheet, students calculate the volume of pyramids in four multiple choice and one free-response problem.  The solutions are provided.

Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...

Learners study geometric shapes, lines, and the primary colors as they create Mondrian-like art prints.

Students search the school grounds for examples of symmetry in nature. They bring examples back to the classroom and write about them.

Students read "Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes" by Stuart Murphy and view a PowerPoint presentation on shapes. They identify shapes presented in the book and then identify shapes found in their classroom.

Second graders gain an understanding of geometric shapes and spatial reasoning. They learn the attributes of solid shapes in everyday activities. Students compare geometric shapes to everday objects, finding things that serve a purpose...

Seventh graders explore the concept of volume and surface area of cylinders. In this volume and surface area of cylinders instructional activity, 7th graders break cylinders into their base shapes of a circle and a rectangle. Students...
