Living in a Geometrical World
Students participate in a series of hand-on, online, and multimedia activities to examine 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes. They describe common geometric solids. They construct rectangular prisms using straws and ribbon.

Build a Geome-Tree
Geometers construct a mobile or ornament using nets of three-dimensional polyhedrons. Not only do they need to compute the volume and surface area of each figure, they also earn points for creativity, neatness, and more!
Curated OER
NetsS.A. of Prisms
Learners build nets of three-dimensional prisms based on the dimensions they are given for hexagonal prism, triangular prism, rectangular prism. Working in groups, they use their prisms and calculate the Surface Area and Lateral Area.

Net (Closed Cylinder)
In this math net worksheet, students cut out, fold, and assemble a closed cylinder. Students use the net provided to make the three dimensional figure.
Curated OER
Net (Triangular Prism)
In this net worksheet, learners use the pattern to create a triangular prism. Students cut out the pattern and fold on the dotted lines and paste it to make the solid figure.
