Young scholars read The Greedy Triangle and discuss geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students list the geo-solids in the world and create a graphic organizer to show where geo-solids exist.

Investigate the properties of three-dimensional figures with this Arctic-themed math lesson. Beginning with a class discussion about different types of solid figures present in the classroom, young mathematicians are then given a...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Students read and explain food labels and decide in which part of the food guide pyramid selected food items belong.

Students explore three topics of elements of art in this seven lessons unit. An overview of light, space, figure, ground, pattern, balance and symmetry are presented in this unit.

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.

In this algebra worksheet, students apply the properties of exponents as they solve problems with exponents. They compare ratios and volumes as they relate to each other. There are 5 questions with an answer key.

In this math worksheet, students cut out six three-dimensional shapes. The shapes include a sphere, cone, cylinder, pyramid, and cube.

Third graders identify two and three dimensional shapes used in architectural designs by viewing images on the Internet.  In this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their own building designs and identify the geometric shapes that...

Middle schoolers play basketball games and show knowledge of offense and defense. For this basketball lesson plan, students also answer short answer questions about offense and defense.

Students calculate the volume and surface are of three-dimensional shapes. In this geometry lesson plan, students use the nets to prove their calculations of shapes. They identify the different parts of a solid using the nets.

Students create nets of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of cylinders and other solids. They show their understanding of three-dimensional shapes by solving problems.

Students sketch and create nets of different polygons.In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate prisms from other three-dimensional shapes. They define the properties of prisms.

With this interactive lesson, learners compute the surface area of rectangular prisms. They visit an online investigation applet and record data on the provided handout. Pair this lesson with the volume lesson by the same publisher as an...

Explore the concept of volume of prisms using an applet to perform the calculations. The link to the interactive applet is embedded into the lesson plan as well as a link to associated data sheets. Get your math class to the computer lab...

Introduce the procedure needed to find the volume of a rectangular prism. Learners rank various prisms such as cereal boxes and tissue boxes from smallest to largest volume. They use an applet to find the volume and surface area of each...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Compare two- and three-dimensional shapes and construct three dimensional models from two-dimensional shapes. Diagram the shapes and reflect about the process in writing.

Here is a math lesson that is really a visual arts lesson in disguise! In it, pupils utilize their knowledge of geometric shapes and forms to create a detailed version of a cylinder. The instructions on how to go about the task are very...

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Upper elementary and middle schoolers explore the properties of various polygons. They use video, resource links, and engage in hands-on activities in order to construct geometric nets. This fine plan should lead to increased...

Fourth graders are asked to name different shapes.Four to five students to share their answers with the class. The teacher leads the discussion in geometry about the properties associated with shapes.

Young scholars compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, young scholars use their computers to determine the...

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson plan, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.
