What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

Explore the relationship between 2D and 3D shapes by having your class view representation of shapes and investigate their symmetry. They will create a solid object from diagrams and describe the reflection or rotational symmetry. In the...

In this geometry worksheet, students draw 6 different shapes as requested by 6 specific directives in the circles provided. Students draw 2D and 3D shapes.

Explore the concept of creating and describing 2D and 3D shapes.  Using geometry your scholars will describe the attributes of shapes and their properties.  They explore and discover what happens when you combine shapes and...

Students solve volume problems. In this geometry activity, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities...

In this 2D and 3D figure worksheet, students name different shapes and decide if they are polygons or not. Students complete 8 problems.

Challenge mathematicians to examine and sort a variety of 2-D and 3-D figures with a 10-problem solid shapes worksheet.

Create three dimensional objects in an applied science lesson. The goal is for your class to recognize, compare, and model shapes. Using cookie cutters and clay or play dough, they create models for three-dimensional shapes.

Primary geometers create a picture using tangrams. In this geometry lesson, students read Grandfather Tang: A Tale Told with Tangrams, cut out their own tangrams, and choose a character from the story to make using their tangram pieces.

Have your class use online activities to recognize the names and properties of 2D and 3D shapes. They will listen to their teacher describe a mystery shape and try to guess it. Additionally they will watch clips online about a 2D shape...

Ask elementary young scholars to explore shapes in everyday objects. They will discuss the elements of design and describe the shapes they see in visual images. Students will then design and "build" a new 3D shape. Finally they will show...

Sew up pupil interest with an engaging, hands-on lesson. Learners first design a sports bag given constraints on the dimensions of fabric. They then evaluate provided sample responses to identify strengths and weaknesses of included...

Three, two, one...liftoff! Elevate math skills to new heights while having a blast. A great resource that combines entertainment and education for children of all ages.

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they...

Discuss the properties of 2D and 3D shapes in order to help learners understand the concept. Learners will participate in an interactive whiteboard lesson to develop understanding of 2D and 3D shapes.

For this math and language arts worksheet, students examine 15 words in a word bank which pertain to geometric shapes. Students find the words in a word search puzzle.

How  does the shape of the surface of water in a container change as water leaks out? After tackling this question, learners take part in a similar activity with more complex figures.

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

In this geometric shapes learning exercise, learners identify 4 drawings as polygons or not, 1 drawing as regular or not and then write the name of 3 solid figures.

In this three- and two- dimensional geometry worksheet, 7th graders solve 12 various problems related to geometric shapes and measurement. They first use paper and a pencil to sketch the front, side, back, top and bottom views of each...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

In this ratios for area and volume worksheet, students solve problems where they find the ratios for problems of shapes dealing with area and volume. Students complete 4 problems.

In this 2 and 3 dimensional figures worksheet, students determine whether given shapes are regular or irregular. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...
