Join Mel and Alba and find out more about 3D shapes and the position of objects.

While 3 Dimensional shapes are not mentioned specifically in the Common Core, they do include the term face which is more appropriate for 3D shape attributes.

We are learning about how shape attributes helps us to see how shapes are alike and different. This site provides four resources for shapes including 3-D.

Meet Morisu in the dojo. Help him with symmetrical objects and shapes!

Second graders will identify the attributes of 3D shapes and measure the edges in inches and centimeters. This lesson contains a detailed plan and videos of students engaged in the activity.

My first graders have been studying the defining attributes of 2D shapes. They are going to love using toothpicks and marshmallows to present their knowledge of 2D and create 3D shapes.

A comprehensive list of 2D shapes and 3D solids with everything from a triangle to a dodecahedron. Includes illustrations and short descriptions of attributes for each.

In this lesson plan, young scholars will create a shape mobile of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes made from geometric shapes.

In this lesson on solid shapes, students will learn to identify three-dimensional shapes by their attributes and learn to recognize them in the real world.

As a whole group, students will sort a collection of three-dimensional objects into categories by shape. There should be several that fall into each of the categories below: Aligns with 1.G.A.1.

Discover 2D shapes and 3D objects from different views in Antarctica!

In this lesson, 7th graders slice three dimensional objects to determine what two dimensional shape is created.

Check out this math project about polyhedra! Students will enjoy the hands-on activity while they learn about tetrahedrons, hexahedrons, octahedrons, dodecahedrons, and icosahedrons. [Requires Adobe Reader.]

A geometry lesson that examines the history and structure of ancient pyramids and engages students in constructing pyramid models. A comprehensive lesson that considers students with diverse learning styles. Math concepts introduced...

This lesson plan has students explore and compute volume of water.

This task asks students to compare the volumes of three vases that are different shapes - a cylinder, a cone, and a sphere - as well as one with a combination of shapes. They are then asked to create a vase with composite shapes, find...

In this task, 8th graders are presented with a drawing of three glasses of different shapes and their measurements. They are asked to make several calculations that require the application of the Pythagorean Theorem and volume formulas....

In this task, students investigate the volume of tennis balls and their cylindrical container, the empty space around the balls, different ways of slicing them, and what their visualizations will look like. Aligns with G-GMD.B.4 and...
