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...

Introduction to Polyhedra
Students investigate Euler's Formula. In this geometry lesson, students perform an inductive activity of Euler's Formula using nets to identify a variety of prism, pyramids, cylinders, and cones.
Curated OER
Exploration with Geometric Solids
Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Nature's Polyhedrons
High schoolers discover the characteristics of polyhedra. Through hands-on activities and interactive videos, students investigate and retrieve information on polyhedra and crystal structures. High schoolers study angles and symmetry....

Where has Polly Gone?
Students explore polygons and their uses in careers. They also discover polygons shapes in manmade objects and nature. They use their acquired knowledge to construct a strong structure using polygon shapes.

Polyhedra: Faces, Edges, and Vertices (3-D Marshmallow Models)
Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.
Curated OER
Constructing Polyhedra
Students explore the concept of polyhedra. In this polyhedra lesson plan, students use the Internet to manipulate virtual polyhedra models. Students create polyhedra models from straws, toothpicks, cardboard, Plexiglas, and other...
Curated OER
Cubes and Cylinders
In this geometry worksheet, students identify cubes and cylinders by coloring a given number of each shape red, green, blue, or yellow.
Curated OER
Polyhedra Book
In this math worksheet, learners are asked to read the book that focuses upon the creation and explanation of three dimensional shapes.
Curated OER
It's a 3-D World Out There!
Students construct polygons. They identify attributes of three-dimensional shapes. Students name common three-dimensional shapes. They draw three-dimensional shapes, and sort three-dimensional shapes. Students use K'NEX materials sets to...
Curated OER
Polygons And Polyhedra
High schoolers recognize and name two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric figures. One group of students will extend the study of polygons to quadrilaterals while another group of high schoolers will extend the study of polygons...
Curated OER
Three-dimensional Shapes
In this three-dimensional shapes activity, 6th graders identify and complete 4 different questions that include various types of three-dimensional shapes. First, they identify the shape illustrated as it relates to a cube. Then, students...
