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,...

The goal of this PBS lesson is for students to apply spatial reasoning, problem solving, and critical thinking skills to assess which regular polygons will tessellate. A detailed lesson plan that includes related worksheets, lesson...

An integrated geometry lesson on spatial sense in which students identify and use different shapes to create a tessellation. "Through a variety of modalities such as writing, music, art, poetry, and literature, students are introduced to...

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.

The class has been contracted to work for a box factory. They are to make cube shaped jewelry boxes. Students determine how many different nets are possible and then analyze the resulting cubes. This real-world situation helps to develop...

Using calculators, students investigate quadratic functions using geometric toothpick designs in this lesson that with a review of transformations of quadratic functions, vertical and horizontal shifts, and stretches and shrinks.
