This lesson describes three dimensional shapes and provides two interactive practice activities.

Use this interactive tool to explore cones. Change the height and the radius to see how these affect the cone. There is also the option of making an oblique cone. Properties of a cone are discussed, how to use formulas to calculate the...

Use this interactive tool to explore pyramids. Rotate the pyramid to view it from all sides. Increase the number of sides (even to well over 100) until it closely resembles a cone. The base can be made irregular and you can 'explode' the...

The University of Saskatchewan's Department of Mathematics and Statistics provides high school students with online tutorials and exercises on what they deem some of the most important topics in geometry: Triangles, and Circles and Other...

On this interactive website students practice various math skills using a real life scenario at a toy store. Those skills include describing the features of pyramids, prisms, cones, cylinders and spheres.

This is an Internet-based (online) and group discussion lesson. Students will learn the formulas for surface area and volume of cylinders and cones. Students should have previously learned how to determine the area for a circle; however,...

On this interactive website students practice various math skills using a real life scenario. Those skills include identifying 3D objects, identifying the similarities and differences in prisms and pyramids, and drawing 3D shapes such as...

Compare a cone and a pyramid with this handy reference guide. Provides a detailed definition and an interactive activity that enhances further explanation. Includes links to related topics.

This site defines a frustum and has links to related topics. The site offers the formula for the lateral area, volume, and total surface area of frustum of a cone.

This lesson defines the phrase slant height, and how it relates to pyramids and cones. It is 4 of 5 in the series titled "Slant Height."

This lesson will define the terms prism, bases, pyramid, cylinder, and cone. It is 4 of 4 in the series titled "Types of Solids."

This lesson will define the terms prism, bases, pyramid, cylinder, and cone. It is 2 of 4 in the series titled "Types of Solids."

Students will investigate the relationship between surface area and volume and their application to the inner workings of real life organisms.

Use these calculator tools to find the volume, in your choice of units, of a sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism, capsule, ball cap, conical frustum, ellipsoid, or square pyramid. Includes a reference section listing formulas...

This page brings you to a table of contents of three-dimensional figures. Selecting a figure will bring you to a page defining and illustrating the figure with applicable formulas listed.

A complete reference guide to solid geometry. The mathematics resource provides definitions and interactive activities that enhance further explanation.

Explore the world of solid shapes in this mini-lesson. Provides a definition, interactive examples, and interesting practice questions that help with understanding.

Introduces the concept of 3D shapes by learning the definition, types, properties, and three dimensions. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.
