Before determining the classification of a three-dimensional shape, you need to know about the characteristics of a vertex, edge, and face. Go step-by-step using a prism, and discover what each aspect refers to and how it applies to...

Learners enjoy making 3-D figures while learning about rectangular prisms, pyramids, vertices, edges, and faces. After a lecture/demo, students use marshmallows, toothpicks and a worksheet imbedded in this instructional activity to...

Are your mathematicians figuring out the difference between shapes and figures? Using a simple, visual identification learning exercise, learners analyze 2 shapes and 2 figures, answering 4 questions about each. Learners determine their...

Practice analyzing shapes using this shape breakdown worksheet. Your scholars examine 2 shapes and 2 figures, identifying the number of faces, vertices, edges, and sides each has. The instructions remind students that an answer of "0" is...

Fourth graders examine faces, edges, and vertices. In this geometry instructional activity, 4th graders participate in classroom activities that require them to compare geometric shapes, figures, and models.

Compare geometric solids based on their properties. Your emergent geometers use spaghetti and marshmallows to build models so they can examine the number of faces, edges, and vertices on polyhedra of their own creation. Resource includes...

Let's go fly a kite! Discuss the concept of two-dimensional and three-dimensional objects with your math class. They examine a triangle and discuss the face, vertices, edges, and angles. Then they build their own Tetrahedral Kites and...

Students identify the parts of three dimensional objects. In this geometry instructional activity, students find the number of faces, edges and vertices. They differentiate between prisms and polyhedra.

Prisms are the focus of this geometry worksheet. Students count the number of parts of a prism and chart 26 answers. Vocabulary such as: "faces," "edges," and "verticies" are taught. A well-designed math worksheet!

In this faces, edges, and vertices worksheet, students write how many faces, edges, and vertices each shape has. Students complete this for 2 plane shapes and 2 2D shapes.

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. 

In this solid figures worksheet, students learn to identify solid figures by their faces, edges, and vertices. Students solve six word problems about the solid figure characteristics.

Young scholars explore geometry by completing a math worksheet in class. In this shape identification lesson, students identify the characteristics associated with 15 solid geometric shapes. Young scholars identify patterns between...

What a great assessment to give young mathematicians in order to test their knowledge on two- and three-dimensional shapes. Learners name various shapes, identify the number of edges, faces, and vertices, match an unfolded version of a...

For this Euler's Theorem worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 15 various types of problems. First, they find the distance and midpoint of a segment given its endpoints. Then, students identify the number of vertices, edges, and...

Seventh graders explore the characteristics of three-dimensional figures. They compare the nets of figures. Students describe the relationship between the nets draw and the solid. They identify the vertices, edges and faces of the...

Young mathematicians look at five 3-D shapes and name them based on the accompanying image. For each shape, learners state the number of faces, vertices, and edges.

From polyhedrons to platonic solids, here is a lesson that will have your classes talking! As an introduction to platonic solids, scholars cut and fold nets to create the three-dimensional solids. They use an interactive component to...

In this geometry worksheet, students look at a set of figures and determine the amount of faces, vertices and edges of each, then name each figure. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this finding patterns in pyramids and prisms learning exercise, 4th graders use two tables showing faces, edges and vertices for pyramids and prisms to answer six questions about the patterns.

In this shapes worksheet, students write how many sides, faces, edges and vertices are found on given shapes, 4 total. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

Students compare and contrast two dimensional polygons and three dimentional nets by examining the differences in drawings. They create three dimensional shapes and label the faces, edges, and vertices. After creating the shapes, they...

Third graders explore the attributes of 3-dimensional shapes. In this shapes lesson, 3rd graders examine faces, edges, and vertices of 3-dimensional shapes as they construct shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks.
