Solid Figures
In this solid figures worksheet, 5th graders are given six objects in which they are asked to chose which solid figure each object looks like. Students are provided a visual of each solid figure.
Curated OER
Shapely Figures
Students are given magazines, scissors, glue, and one sheet of construction paper. They look for pictures showing real life representations of rectangular prisms, spheres, cones, and pyramids. Pupils cut out pictures showing each of...
Curated OER
Solid Figures Sort
First graders use Kidspiration to sort solid figures by the number of faces. They work in pairs with a set of solid figures. Students sort them according to the number of faces, or whether or not it can roll, slide, be stacked. Students...

History and the Approximations of pi
Middle schoolers investigate Pi. For this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.
Curated OER
Which One Could Make This Shape?
Explore two and three-dimensional shapes. Learners first examine three 2-DÂ shapes and determine which of three 3-D figures could have made that shape. The wording here is a bit confusing; make sure your kids understand what it is asking....
