Curated OER
Properties of 3-D Shapes
In this properties of 3-D shapes worksheet, students fill in a chart that describes 5 shapes such as a cube, a rectangular prism, and a cylinder. They tell if the shape is a prism, and how many faces, edges, and vertices it has.
Curated OER
Build Solids
In this solid figures worksheet, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.
Curated OER
Volume
In this finding volume practice worksheet, learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.
Curated OER
Calculate Surface Area Worksheet
Learners calculate the surface area of three rectangular prisms, including a cube, based on given dimensions. There are only three diagrams with which to work. Nice homework, as it provides practice, but isn't too much busy work or...
Curated OER
Marshmallow Geometry
In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks as edges.
Curated OER
Finding Volume
In this volume worksheet, students are given the equations for finding the volume of a cube and the volume of a prism. They solve two multi-part problems finding the volumes of different solids.
Curated OER
State of NY Testing Program
In this algebra activity, students review geometric and algebraic concepts for the state exam at the end of the year. They discuss factoring and volumes, prisms and measuring. There are over 16 pages of questions on this lesson.
Curated OER
Geometry: Calculating Volumes
In this volume worksheet, students find the volume of 8 prisms. Students are given the length, width, and height of each prism.

Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures
Students identify solid figures. For this classification lesson, students recognize and name solid figures. Students identify which figures contain polygons and rectangles. Students practice counting vertices, faces and edges.
Curated OER
Surface Area of Rectagular Prisms
Sixth graders investigate the area of polygons. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders calculate area of prisms using geometric formulas. They work with prisms and other rectangular shapes.
Curated OER
Relating Space and Plane Shapes
For this mathematics worksheet, 1st graders identify which object in an illustration has a flat side the same shape as the box shown. Then they look at other shapes and identify the ones with a flat side, if any.
Curated OER
Identify Shapes and Matching Parts
Students identify real world objects as shapes they have learned. In this 3-D shapes worksheet, students identify shapes such as a cube for a box, a sphere for a globe, and a cylinder for a soup can.
