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

Don't let the task slip through your fingers like sand. Scholars design sand castles using hemispheres, pyramids, cones, and cylinders of different sizes. They calculate the volume and surface area and consider how changing the...

Students investigate spheres through sketches. In this geometry lesson, students sketch two and three dimensional shapes creating nets. They find and differentiate between the nets for prisms, pyramids, cones, cylinders and spheres.

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...

Youngsters develop mathematical vocabulary with this worksheet. First, give youngsters time to identify their vocabulary words in the picture provided. Then, as a group, practice saying the vocabulary words aloud. Finally, have learners...

In this geometry worksheet, students will cut out and practice the names of plane and solid shapes. The flashcards are in color.

Students identify and sketch the nets for sphere. In this geometry instructional activity, students differentiate between two and three dimensional shapes. They find the surface area of each sphere.

Learners explore volume and surface area. In this math instructional activity, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Learners discuss area.

Time to move into the third dimension! Learn the names of the geometric solids and count faces, edges, and vertices. Then learn to recognize nets that create a given solid. 

The objectives in the resource allow young scholars to explore the characteristics of simple solid shapes. Youngsters learn to recognize the face shapes, corners, and edges that make up 3-D figures by filling in a chart....

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students answer ten multiple choice questions concerning the volume and surface area of various spheres.

For this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume in each of the ten problems listed and write their measurements in terms of the larger amount. They find the volume of a sphere, a rectangular solid, and a cylinder....

Third graders evaluate the attributes of cones. In this space shapes instructional activity, 3rd graders analyze three-dimensional shapes. Students explore the faces and edges of a cone.

What are these shapes? Scholars match seven shapes to their names: rhombus, sphere, square, cone, circle, triangle, and parallelogram. Although there isn't much to this worksheet, the shapes are nicely colored and it would...

Learners explore the concept of volume. They develop formulas for volume of prisms. Then use their formulas to find missing dimensions of various prisms such as height, length, width, radius, and diameter.

Learners are designing a stunning new water feature for an aquarium, but they soon discover that more than just a pretty home for their fishy friends is required.  From calculating the volume of a composite shape through the...

Young learners listen to the story book The Greedy Triangle as the teacher introduces new polygon shapes. They use geometric stencils to trace a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a hexagon, and an octogon onto a foldable notepad....

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification worksheet, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

It's test time! Determine your class's understanding of the topics of volume and cross sections with a thorough assessment on volume, area, and geometric shapes.

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple worksheet prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

Young mathematicians look at five 3-D shapes and name them based on the accompanying image. For each shape, learners state the number of faces, vertices, and edges.

In this volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different problems that include various types of figures. First, they determine the volume of a prism, pyramid, cylinder, cone, and a sphere as shown. Then, students determine the surface...

In this volume worksheet, students recognize three-dimensional figures, identify the proper volume formula, and then solve the equation by inserting information from a diagram into the formula. Students solve six equations.
