In this solid shapes worksheet, students read descriptions of solid shapes, then label a set of pictures with either box, cylinder, pyramid or cone. 

In this solid shapes worksheet, students count and name shapes, write the names of missing shapes, write about the difference between a rectangular prism and cube and build designs.

Students calculate the density of regular and irregular solids and liquids. They relate the term dense to science as well as its literal meaning that society uses it as everyday. A worksheet is completed on density.

In this solid shapes reteaching worksheet, 1st graders review solids in a box at the top of the page. They see examples of a sphere, cone, cylinder, cube, and a rectangular prism. They circle the objects with the same shape as the one...

In this attribute of solid shapes reteaching activity, 1st graders review the meaning of faces, corners, curves, and edges. They complete 8 examples by circling the curves, faces, edges, and corners on the given shapes.

Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.

Students investigate cubes. In this geometric solids lesson, students review geometric concepts previously taught, then logon to a computer game in which they find cube figures and identify the shadow of hidden cubes.

Third graders research the Internet to locate geometric designs in familiar buildings. They review shapes, solids, angles and symmetry as they research websites of familiar buildings in Louisville. They record the information they see...

When youngsters are first gaining experience with the volume of solid figures, this is a well-suited worksheet. Nine figures, all made of unit cubes, are drawn for your class to estimate volumes with. Two simple test preparation...

See all sides of the story with a worksheet on geometric shapes! After studying the example at the top, which matches polygons with solid figures, second graders circle shapes that are named in the directions. Next, they match polygons...

Explore finding the surface area of composite figures. Building on the previous lessons in the 29-part series, the 24th installment examines the surface area of three-dimensional solids. The focus is on decomposing composite figures and...

Investigate the volume of irregular figures in an inquiry-based exercise. Presented with an irregularly shaped box filled with water, learners must predict the level of water when it is tipped on its side. The class can divide...

In this hidden cubes worksheet, students estimate the volume of solid figures, then build the figure using cubes. Students then find the exact volume of the cubed figures. Answers included on page 2.

Connecting academic concepts to real-life applications is an important component of any lesson, especially with such topics as geometric shapes. In this instructional activity on geometric shapes, students answer word problems. This...

In this identifying solids worksheet, students complete a chart of faces, edges and vertices for four geometric solids, then identify which solid is seen in three pictures.

Students identify and create simple geometric shapes and describe simple spatial relationships. Through discussion, hands-on activities and show and tell, they identify geometric solids in real life and create graphs of commonly found...

In this volume worksheet, students observe diagrams and extrapolate the correct items to plug into a formula for volume. They find the volume of triangular prisms, cylinders, cones, rectangular prisms, and rectangular pyramids. Four of...

Third graders discuss and demonstrate how water has three forms: solid, liquid, and gas. They create a snow figure outdoors or freeze ice in molds and predict how long it will take for real solid water (snow sculpture or ice) to become...

Students brainstorm names of plane and solid geometric figures. Afterward, they explore the skyline of large cities and note their agricultural shapes. Using construction paper, students build 3-D geometric structures to create a skyline...

Does it have corners? Scholars sort three-dimensional figures into one of two categories based on whether or not they have corners. They look at six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid. For each,...

So a cylinder does not have to look like a can? By expanding upon the precise definition of a rectangular prism, the lesson develops the definition of a general cylinder. Scholars continue on to develop a graphical organizer...

Cakes offer a yummy way to learn about math. Scholars use manipulatives to discover the formulas for the surface area and volume of prisms and cylinders. They use their formulas to calculate the amount of cake mix and frosting necessary...

Unlike a volcano, the lesson won't blow up in your face. Young mathematicians use dried beans to discover the relationship between the volumes of cones and cylinders and to write a formula for the volume of a cone. They then research...

In this making solid using nets practice worksheet, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems.
