Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

Explore surface areas and nets with 2D and 3D shapes.

In this tea store, the boxes all have different shapes! What do you know about shapes?

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore cross sections and nets of three dimensional objects. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

Practice matching 2D nets to the 3D shapes the fold up into. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

Help Peg and Cat move the net to collect the jewels while you hunt for solid shapes.

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.]

Students will play learning games to practice identifying and creating 3-dimensional figures.

Use this tool to see animated models of over 100 different types of polyhedra. There are five options for how they appear, and you can also see the net, 'explode' the solid so that the faces are separated, or drag it to rotate it...

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

How many different cuboids can you make? Learn how and learn how to represent data with your results.
