This Math Forum instructional activity gives instructions on how to build a paper pyramid. Bonuses included finding the surface area and volume of the pyramid.

Students will use their knowledge of scale factor to enlarge a picture to scale. They will then use PhotoStory to create a collage of their pictures. This lesson plan was created as a result of the Girls Engaged in Math and Science...

Explore connections between a 2-dimensional net and a 3-dimensional box. Later in this section, use equations with variables to solve real world problems that use 2 and 3-dimensional objects.

Identify the parts of 3D shapes in this assessment.

A "three star geometry problem" requiring knowledge of how to complete geometric proofs and some prior math skills to figure the shortest distance between the opposite corners of a cuboid.

A lesson in creating 3-D solids using toothpicks and marshmallows.

Using an engaging approach, this lesson requires students to record the volume of cylinders as a function of the radius. Students will construct and measure the volume of several cylinders and then begin comparing these shapes.

Use the shapes provided and figure out how they fit together to make a 3 X 3 cube at this one page website. The solution is readily available right at the website.

Improve your logic and net recognition skills with this learning game. Solution included.

Explanation of surface area and the volume of pyramids, prisms, cylinders, and cones through examples and a video lesson. [1:44]

In this lesson, students will identify 2- and 3-dimensional shapes as well as create shape drawings and sculptures. Teacher materials are available.

This tutorial explains the concept of surface area, and then goes through multiple shapes offering the specific surface area formula for each one.

Name various 3D shapes in this online game.

This lesson introduces the units of distance (cubed units) used to describe volume. Students watch a video tutorial and then can take an online quiz.
