Students participate in activities the connect measurement to geometry, statistics, estimation, and the real world. They collect measurements from their elbow to the tip of their middle finger and make a box plot of the data as well as...

Students study pyramids. In this prisms lesson plan, students explore the attributes of pyramids. Students will explore the lateral surface area of pyramids and be able to distinguish pyramids from other space shapes.

Sixth graders use toothpicks and gumdrops to make prisms and pyramids. This helps them explore the relationship betweeen faces, vertices, and edges.

Students locate lines of symmetry in regular polygons and predict the number of lines of symmetry in an octagon. In three different polygons, they construct all lines of symmetry and after making their prediction about the octagon,...

Eighth graders study the cultural and architectural history of San Diego. After study they create a design of a home based of features from historical and modern homes found in their research.

Students use the Internet to answer lab questions about fractals, and then construct fractals using the initial stage and iteration rule. They complete tables and generate rules for the "nth" term and create their own fractals.

Sixth graders examine a blue print and discuss the reasoning behind using blue prints. In this proportionality lesson,  students collaborate with their teammates to create a scale drawing. Once that is complete, 6th graders write a...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students draw two-dimensional representations of solid figures. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch instructional videos and...

Practice matching 2D nets to the 3D shapes the fold up into. Students receive immediate feedback and have the opportunity to try questions repeatedly, watch a video or receive hints.

Excellent interactive challenge working with cube nets to stack them in a specific order. Manipulate the cubes online to solve the problem.

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

In this enrichment game, the nets for nine solids are displayed. The twist is that each net has been cut into two pieces. The challenge is find the pieces that go together.

Given an unlimited number of a specific type of equilateral, isosceles, and right triangles create as many tetrahedra as are possible. Includes printout.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This is a review of solid figures, nets, and counting faces, nets and vertices in 3 dimensional figures. There is a 5 question Activote session at the end of the flipchart.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This study guide gives an overview of isometric view, orthographic view, cross-section, and nets.

[Free Registration/Login Required] Students will explore cross sections and nets of three dimensional objects. Click challenge me to answer practice questions and click learn more to watch a video.

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this lesson students will find the heights of cylinders given surface area and one other dimension. Students examine guided notes, review guided practice, watch...

During this activity, middle schoolers will create nets for prisms. They will find the volume and surface area of the shapes. They will also use interactive activities to review three-dimensional shapes.This lesson plan was created as a...

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

Have fun and learn by making a box and then find out its maximum volume as well as other problem-solving activities, including making a table of your results and drawing a graph.

The students will find the area of each two dimensional figure on a net of a square pyramid. In groups, students will cut out the net and create a square pyramid. Groups will then discuss how to find the lateral area and the total...

Given nets for three-dimensional figures, the student will apply the formulas for the total and lateral surface area of three-dimensional figures to solve problems using appropriate units of measure.

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.
