In this properties of 3-D shapes instructional activity, students identify shape, faces, edges, vertices, and right angles. In this fill in the blank instructional activity, students answer thirty-six problems.

Investigate the properties of three-dimensional figures with this Arctic-themed math lesson. Beginning with a class discussion about different types of solid figures present in the classroom, young mathematicians are then given a...

In this geometry instructional activity, students solve 25 problems that pertain to shapes, edges, faces and vertices. There is instruction on the page and examples are shown. This page is intended for online use but may be completed on...

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...

Fourth graders make models of three-dimensional figures and then use these play dough figures to observe and count the vertices, edges, and faces of the figure.

In this sides, faces, vertices and edges learning exercise, students determine the number of each shown in given shapes. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

How do you get a theorem named after you? Euler knows what it takes! The third lesson of five asks pupils to use an interactive activity to compare the faces, vertices, and edges of seven different three-dimensional solids. They use...

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,...

For this geometry worksheet, students determine the number of sides, faces, edges and vertices of given figures. A reference web site is given for additional activities. 

Students explore geometric solids. In this geometry lesson, students listen to the book The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns, then work in groups to sort geometric solids into various categories. Students define geometric solids...

In this identifying solid figures worksheet, students name each solid figure, write the number of faces, vertices, and edges, and solve a word problem. Students solve seven problems.

Students work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

In a two-part worksheet, young geometers examine 3-D shapes and describe their attributes in a table. They will be able to draw the shape and name the number of vertices, faces, and edges. In the second part, individuals explore...

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 properties of 3-D shapes worksheet, students fill in a chart that describes 5 shapes such as a cube, a rectangular prism, and a cylinder. They tell if the shape is a prism, and how many faces, edges, and vertices it has.

When they do, they learn. Using this resource, young mathematicians learn about platonic solids by actually building, touching, and examining the shapes. They connect their observations about the shapes to Euler's formula.

In this geometry learning exercise, students study diagrams with labels of common geometric figures. Students then answer 24 questions. Then they draw and label their own figures.

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.

Solids come in many shapes and sizes. Using geometry, scholars create two-dimensional cross-sections of various three-dimensional objects. They develop the lesson further by finding the volume of solids. The module then shifts...

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...

Sixth graders use toothpicks and gumdrops to make prisms and pyramids. This helps them explore the relationship betweeen faces, vertices, and edges.

Students problem solve to open a cube to create different shapes. In this problem solving lesson plan, students are given a cube and the shapes to open it up to, and they have to cut the cube open to make certain shapes. This gives them...

Students respond to Tony Smith's sculpture as art and brainstorm about math concepts inherent in his work. They create a sculpture with polyhedra nets, calculate the cost of covering sculpture in gold, and write an exhibit label for...

Explore vocabulary related to three-dimensional shapes. An instructional website describes the characteristics of different geometric solids. Learners can use an interactive component to view nets, faces, vertices, and edges of common...
