You and your class will like this lesson on using visual models to relate the volume and surface area of solid shapes. Learners construct three-dimensional forms using nets. They calculate the surface area and volume for each and then...

Geometers calculate the area of plane surfaces using the formulas for the area of a square, rectangle, and triangle. They develop the formula for calculating the total surface area of two geometric solids: the cube and rectangular prism.

Middle and high schoolers calculate the volume of cylinders. In this geometry lesson, learners differentiate between rectangular prisms and cylinders. They use the correct formula to solve for each solid.

In this geometry worksheet, students analyze 9 drawings of geometric shapes and solid figures. Students write the name of each shape. There is no word bank.

In this cone worksheet, students cut out, fold and assemble a solid figure of a cone by using the net provided on this page. No written directions are given.

Young scholars investigate measurement through the use of literature through this series of lessons.

In this math worksheet, students build a truncated dodecahedron. This is a solid shape with 12 regular decagonal faces and 20 equilateral triangular faces. Students build this shape to assist in developing their cognitive and geometric...

Strengthen young geometric muscles with this exercise in finding surface area and volume. Six problems provide practice at determining the surface area and volume of two solid figures shown in cubic units, deciding which to find given a...

Learners make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets lesson, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the net. They use the...

Learners find the volume of spheres. In this geometry lesson, students measure and derive the formula for each shape and solid. They use the correct terminology and units when solving these problems.

Students explore the relationships among the lengths, areas, and volumes of similar solids. They also discover what effect doubling the dimensions of a figure has on the resulting area.

Students choose a polygon to define and describe, and use Power Point and the Internet to present their polygon.

Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. Using various objects found in the classroom, they identify faces, edges, and vertices of objects. Students create their own objects. They describe the polydron, telling the faces,...

In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.

Thirty-eight flashcards make up a set designed to reinforce math vocabulary. Two types of cards can be found here; a word card in bold lettering, and a corresponding definition card that offers a labeled example. Terms include area,...

Students practice calculating probability, see how geometry can help solve probability problems and explore platonic solids.
