Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Students classify polygons by name and shape. In this geometry instructional activity, students identify the lateral surface of each conic. They differentiate between cones, cylinders and spheres.

Students are introduced to the basics of Geometry. Using cutout shapes, they identify whether they are polygons by using the properties of polygons. They practice drawing shapes they are going to be using on an everyday basis and...

Learners explore Ultraviolet detecting beads and conduct several investigations with them.  In this investigative lesson students participate in an experiment to see the harmful effects of UV light and discuss their findings. 

Students need to be able to calculate the volume and surface area of a cuboid as well as present a systematic list of results in order to justify the minimum case. The use of three factors of 100 is also important.

Students explore the making of circles and concepts related to them in geometry. The project is inquiry based will focus upon students making their own nametags. The construction is ideal for hands on students.

Fifth graders use Geoboards to demonstrate how shapes can be made by looping the rubber bands over the nails. They make a triangle on their Geoboards. At least one side of the triangle should be either horizontal or vertical. The picture...

Fourth graders investigate a range of circles, each with a different radius, diameter and circumference and assemble this information in their search for relationships.The measurement of circles and the relationships to be found within...

Third graders use a number of problem solving strategies in this unit of lessons. They determine how to draw and model three-dimensional objects, use co-ordinate systems, determine probability of events, and identify paths of simple...

In this three-dimensional shapes geometry lesson plan, learners identify geometric solids and name their properties. They define "face," "edge," and "vertex," and construct geometric solids using marshmallows as vertices and toothpicks...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] This concept teaches students how to calculate the surface area and volume of prisms.

Students apply their knowledge of surface area and volume to solve some problems for a box company. This lesson contains a detailed lesson plan, video explanations, rubrics, group work guidelines, slides containing problems, and...

A very detailed lesson on determining the volume of rectangular prisms, teaching students how to derive the formula for volume, and to use it successfully. Plenty of examples, student work, and assessment options.

Creating a conceptual understanding of how to find the volume of rectangular prisms using fractional side lengths.

Sixth graders explore the faces, bases, edges, and vertices of prisms and pyramids to help develop the concepts of volume and surface area.

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

Modeling volume with centimeter cubes deepens understanding of the formula for finding volume.

Students find the volume and surface area of a rectangular box (e.g., a cereal box), and then figure out how to convert that box into a new, cubical box having the same volume as the original. As they construct the new, cube-shaped box...

To display the results from the previous activity, each student designs and constructs a mobile that contains a duplicate of his or her original box, the new cube-shaped box of the same volume, the scraps that are left over from the...
