Learners measure prisms and determine their volume. For this measurement and reasoning lesson, students estimate the volume and area of prisms. They measure given boxes. Learners use paper to create prisms and cylinders. They determine...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Young scholars explore points, lines and planes as it relates to geometry. In this geometry lesson, students analyze space and explain wy it is 3-D and not flat or 2-D. They solve problems involving volume and 3-D shapes.

Students analyze the amount of space required to pack round objects. In this geometry activity, students practice using space economically by practicing packing spheres into beakers. They then translate this concept to molecules being...

Students in a teacher education class address consumer related issues involving packaging. Using volume, surface area and graphs, they create a package for a given volume of a product. They design modifications for this lesson plan and...
