Reinforce math vocabulary with a set of flashcards. Each card showcases a boldly typed word or a picture representation with labels. The topics are geometry related and include terms such as cones, faces, pyramids, sides, and...

Pupils complete a review learning exercise that highlights the key problems from the first eight lessons in the series. Topics include the Pythagorean Theorem and its converse, as well as finding volume of three-dimensional figures.

Lateral area and surface area are simple concepts, but calculating them is not as easy! Using formulas, learners calculate lateral area and surface area for the same three-dimensional figures. The resource discusses the formula variables...

Clink, clink! Young mathematicians investigate drinking glasses composed of known solids (cones, cylinders, and hemispheres). Next, they determine the volumes of these glasses.

Take finding volume of 3-D figures to the next level. In the 22nd lesson of the series, learners find the volume of composite solids. The lesson the asks them to deconstruct the composites into familiar figures and use volume formulas.

Land on the green with a fun resource. A short performance task asks pupils to consider the volume of containers that hold golf balls. They determine the percentage of empty space of the container for different numbers of golf balls.

Young visual learners explore different cross sections of 3-dimensional objects. First, cross sections of cubes are explored by using an interactive flash activity. This is then extended by looking at cross sections of spheres,...

Students research the amount and sources of water on Earth. They interpret data to create a physical representation of water and land mass on the planet. They then use art materials to create a visual and tactile representation of...

Learners study life in a garden, above and below ground. They create a cross-section picture, identifying connections and continuity between the two adjacent spheres. In addition, they list and describe the habitats of the plants and...

In this equations in two/three-dimensional space instructional activity, students practice solving equations involving two/three-dimensional space configurations and finding the center and radius of spheres in twenty-six equations and...

Does it have corners? Scholars sort three-dimensional figures into one of two categories based on whether or not they have corners. They look at six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid. For each,...

Students discover the motion of a sphere on an inclined plane and discover basic relationships involving distance, time, speed(velocity), and acceleration.

Students practice identifying spheres, triangles, and rectangles and the difference between plane shapes and space shapes. They identify shapes in the classroom and complete activity sheets.

Students create an atomic model using a computer program. For this technology lesson, students identify the difference between radius and diameter. They create circular patterns and spheres based on certain specifications.

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

In this azimuth and altitude worksheet, students answer questions about celestial bodies and how they are measured. They label drawings of clinometers, celestial spheres, and a compass.

Middle schoolers apply various methods for finding the volume and surface area of sphere. They compare and contrast results among these mathematical methods. They work in cooperative groups to discuss their results with one another.

High schoolers are shown why they should care about evolution. They become specialists in one sphere influenced by evolution and then share their findings with their group. Students are lead into a class discussion, so that each...

First graders complete an experiment illustrating why the moon appears to change over time using a flashlight and ball. Students discuss the shape of the moon and identify it as a sphere. Students write a short informational piece after...

Students design a candy container that contains a specific amount of candy. They demonstrate how an engineering problem can be solved with math and that there are multiple answers to the problem. They compute volume of spheres.

In this mathematical model of the sun worksheet, students read about the way scientists use the sun's radius and mass to determine a mathematical model of the sun using the volume of a sphere, and the relationship between density, volume...

In this collapsing gas clouds worksheet, learners read about the Bok Globules seen by the Hubble Space Telescope. They use a given equation indicating the pressure of a gas sphere and determine at what minimum radius the cloud would...

Students investigate trigonometry.  In this Algebra II/Pre-calculus/Trigonometry lesson, students explore Islamic achievements in mathematics as they calculate angles and distances using the Law of Sines and the Law of...

After reading a short passage that identifies different types of geometric solids, kids answer a series of questions using information found in the article.
