This worksheet is actually an entire chapter focused on math problems involving, shortest path, minimum connector, traveling salesman, and Chinese postman problems. There are multiple activities, exercises, and examples to get students...

Time to move into the third dimension! Learn the names of the geometric solids and count faces, edges, and vertices. Then learn to recognize nets that create a given solid. 

For this solid figures worksheet, students choose a shape from the box that fits the bar graph totals for the faces, edges, and vertices. Students then complete the last bar graph using the one unused shape.

In this rectangles and shapes worksheet, students complete a variety of exercises including counting the number of faces on a solid object, coloring solids to match nets and coloring plane shapes. Students check their answers online as...

Find the area as it slides. Pupils derive an equation to find the painted area of a section of a trapezoidal-shaped stage The section depends upon the sliding distance the edge of the painted section is from a vertex of the trapezoid....

Use a Platonic solids worksheet to record the number of faces, edges, and vertices of five polyhedra whose faces, edges, and vertices are all identical. For each figure, learners write a proof of Euler's formula (F+V=E+2). They create a...

Where did conic sections get their name? The equation and graph of a parabola are developed from the definition of the conic section. Teacher examples on graphing the equation and writing an equation from the graph round out the plan.

This optional lesson introduces the class to the idea of a minimum spanning tree. The activity focuses on determining an algorithm that will find the most efficient path in a network to transfer data. 

For this math worksheet, students develop cognitive and geometric abilities. They construct a paper model of a octahedron composed of eight triangular faces, six vertices and 12 edges.

In this math worksheet, students read about the truncated tetrahedron and then create a paper model. It should look like a solid comprised of 4 regular hexagonal faces, 4 regular triangular. faces, 12 vertices and 18 edges.

In this math worksheet, students create a paper model of a snub cube. It is an Archimedean solid comprised of 6 square faces, 32 equilateral triangle faces, 24 vertices and 60 edges.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers construct a paper model of a tetrahedron. They create it to have four triangle faces, four vertices and six edges.

Reinforce basic geometry skills in an elementary math lesson. A simple worksheet prompts learners to identify and label 3-D shapes.

In this math worksheet, students examine 4 pictures of 3D objects and write the name of each. Students then study 3 pictures and figure the number of faces, edges and vertices on each.

In this math instructional activity, students study the properties of plane shapes and solid figures. Students fill out a chart after they have calculated the number of flat surfaces, edges and vertices.

In this shapes worksheet, students identify shapes and the number of  edges and vertices of each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from lesson number eight in this series, learners now find the area and perimeter of any polygon on the coordinate plane. They decompose the polygons into triangles and use Green's...

How do you build a polygon from an inequality? An engaging lesson challenges pupils to do just that. Building from the previous lesson in this series, learners write systems of inequalities to model rectangles, triangles, and even...

Young mathematicians identify different cases of intersecting secant lines. They then investigate the case where secant lines meet inside a circle.

Geometric shapes are the focus of a comprehension exercise that asks readers to examine a short passage about planes, circles, triangles, and rectangles, and then to respond to a series of questions about the article.

This heady calculus text covers the subjects of differential and integral calculus with rigorous detail, culminating in a chapter of physics and engineering applications. A particular emphasis on classic proof meshes with modern graphs,...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders respond to journal prompts related to prisms and classifying solid shapes.  The two page worksheet contains nine questions.  Answers are included. 

In this math worksheet, young scholars find all the vectors in three dimensional space that have the length of 4. Also, the first and third components are the same. Finally, the second component is the sum of the first and third components.

In this completing shape sentences worksheet, students fill in 23 blanks in 12 sentences with 18 terms used to describe 3-D shapes.
