Curated OER
Blind-Sided
Students conduct an experiment. In this geometry lesson, students practice identifying, describing and comparing geometric solids.
Curated OER
Geometric Shapes, Construction Perspective
Learners examine three different geometric solid shapes and their nets. They answer multiple choice, spatial awareness questions where they determine which view: front, top or either, the net represents.
Curated OER
Classifying Three-Dimensional Shapes
Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...
Curated OER
3-D Cubes
Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.
Curated OER
3-D Attributes
Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry instructional activity, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric...
Curated OER
Solids in the Playground
First graders locate and identify solids in the schoolyard. In this geometric solids lesson, 1st graders locate two solids on the playground. They work as a group to compare and contrast them according to shape, texture, weight, size,...
Curated OER
Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes
Students recognize the features of geometric shapes. In this geometric shapes lesson, students listen to Captain Invincible and the Space Shapes. Students create solid figures with marshmallows and toothpicks. Students create a...
Curated OER
Solid Shapes
In this geometric solids worksheet, students examine 4 different solid shapes then record the number of faces, the number of edges and the name of each shape.
Curated OER
Introducing Powers and Models
Students construct two dimensional models to illustrate squared numbers. In this geometry lesson, students use graph paper and an x/y axis to build squares exponentially. Students identify powers and relationships between various figures...
Curated OER
Blocks in a Sock
First graders identify geometric solids. In this shapes and solids beginning geometry lesson, 1st graders reach into a bag and identify the geometric solid they feel. Students describe shape attributes and match two dimensional shapes to...
Curated OER
Investigation-On the Surface
Learners compute the surface area of 3 geometric solids to determine the shape of package that would require the least amount of paper to wrap. In this geometry lesson, students work on a two-question assessment embedded in the plan. The...
Curated OER
Perimeter, Circumference, Volume, and Surface Area
In this Perimeter, Circumference, Volume, and Surface Area worksheet, students are asked to identify geometric formulas and calculate for volume and surface area for geometric solids. In addition, students are asked to identify...
Curated OER
I've Seen That Shape Before
Young scholars identify geometric solids. In this shape activity, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids. They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes. Young scholars draw pictures of...
Curated OER
Geometry Assessment: Solid Figures
In this geometry assessment learning exercise, students match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.
Curated OER
Identifying Solids
In this identifying solids worksheet, students complete a chart of faces, edges and vertices for four geometric solids, then identify which solid is seen in three pictures.
Curated OER
Recognizing Three Dimensional Shapes
In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...
Curated OER
Nature's Polyhedrons
Learners are introduced to polyhedrons through using straw models to explore geometric solids and constructing Christmas tree ornaments using Epsom salt crystals. Students will view interactive videos and investigate and retrieve...
Curated OER
Net (Cone)
For this cone worksheet, students cut out, fold and assemble a solid figure of a cone by using the net provided on this page. No written directions are given.
Curated OER
Sports Bag
Students determine an efficient layout of the pattern pieces needed to make a sports bag with given dimensions and specifications. Given a word problem, data set and a diagram, students evaluate the information they have available and...
Curated OER
Color Me Square
Second graders identify and describe basic geometric solids. Working as a class, 2nd graders describe geometric solids using the proper vocabulary and counting faces, bases, corners, and edges. In pairs, students use a computer drawing...
