Curated OER
It's a Wrap!
Students study two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects by assembling a sculptural piece from something very flat - pieces of newspaper or wallpaper. They see what materials people used to make clothing during the depression.
Curated OER
Three-Dimensional Figures
Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...
Curated OER
Sort It Out and Match It Up
Students identify objects that are the same shape and size. They compare and contrast attributes of two-and three-dimensional objects using appropriate vocabulary. Pupils justify an extension of a geometric pattern to explain what was...
Curated OER
3-D Figures Part 2
Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.
Curated OER
Intro to Geometry
Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.
Curated OER
Make a Box
Students use specific dimensions to create a box. In this geometry lesson, students analyze the different properties of two and three dimensional shapes. They make conjectures and use it to solve problems.
Curated OER
Sorting 3-Dimensional Shapes
Three-dimensional shapes can be categorized based on their attributes, and scholars learn more about six figures through this sorting activity. They examine six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid....
Math Antics
Volume
Turn up the volume in 3-D. The video introduces the concept of volume and the units used to measure it. Using a graphical representation of translating 2-D figures, the resource develops the formulas for finding the volume of prisms and...
NASA
Packing for a L-o-o-o-ng Trip to Mars
Pack just enough to fit. Crews determine what personal items to take with them on a trip to Mars. Each team must decide what to take with them on a two-and-a-half year trip to Mars and whether their items will fit within the allotted...
Curated OER
Circles, Cylinders, Cones and Spheres
In this comparing geometric figures worksheet, students continue patterns and observe circles. In this problem solving worksheet, students answer seven questions.
Curated OER
More of Carrie's Cubes
Students solve a word problem that explores the shape of a cube and ways that part of it can be colored. They discuss the problem and analyze a Rubik's cube, explore the problem using a graph, and discuss the solutions as a class.
Curated OER
Mapping Deep-Sea Habitat
Learners create a two-dimensional topographic map and a 3-D model of landforms. In this creative lesson students create 2 and 3-D objects and learn how to interpret the data from these things.
Curated OER
Dimensional Analysis
Twelfth graders examine different dimensions and units which go with a particular dimension. They explore the concept of linear measurement versus area. Students estimate area of 3-D objects. They practice converting from one unit of...
Curated OER
Houses
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...
Curated OER
Junior Architects of America
Students create entries for the Architects of America contest, including a model of a futuristic structure, blueprints, a list of all plane and solid shapes in the structure, a persuasive argument paper that describes why the structure...
Curated OER
Sorting 3-Dimensional Shapes
Does it have corners? Scholars sort three-dimensional figures into one of two categories based on whether or not they have corners. They look at six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid. For each,...
Curated OER
3D Objects
In this math worksheet, students solve six problems about 3D objects. Students also solve six problems about measuring 3D objects.
Curated OER
Think 3-Dimensionally
In this 3D objects worksheet, learners answer multiple choice questions based on 3D objects. Students complete 4 questions total.
Curated OER
Geometry is Fun and EverywhereGeometry, You Don’t Care? Geometry is Fun and Everywhere
Third graders investigate shapes in our world. In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders describe plane and solid shapes and identify angles, solid objects and lines of symmetry. Students use online resources, graphic organizers and conduct...
Curated OER
Make a Graph challenge
In this making a graph worksheet, students observe a group of objects, complete a graph by coloring a box for each item that is like the solid shape shown, and write the total number of shapes.
Curated OER
Solidly Platonic
When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.
Curated OER
Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures
Young scholars identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry activity, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Young scholars identify the number of surfaces and faces on...
Curated OER
Plane and Solid Figures
Students define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.
Curated OER
Shape Up!
Students investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.
