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...

Elementary schoolers explore 3-D shapes. They transition from thinking of shapes as only 2-D. Pupils read Cinderella as a launching activity for their upcoming adventure, and explore a new world of 3-D shapes in this introductory lesson.

For this geometry worksheet, students look at a set of shapes, determining how many sides, faces, vertices and edges they have. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

A set of 49 math vocabulary cards ranges from angle to irregular polygon to parallel lines. Each sheet contains two cards: one with the word printed in bold text and the other with the definition.

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 shapes worksheet, students determine the number of faces, vertices and edges of given shapes, then name the shape. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

Third graders describe 2D and 3D shapes. For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders watch a PowerPoint presentation showing the terms used when analyzing shapes: vertex, edge, angle, side, and face. They compare shapes to see what they have...

A chart in this activity prompts students to list the number of faces, vertices, and edges in each of five shapes. Additionally, students provide the number of faces that meet at each vertex as well as the number of sides of each face....

Students identify geometric solids.  In this shape lesson, students explore the characteristics of geometric solids.  They locate pictures of shapes on the internet, and identify the shapes.  Students draw pictures of...

Did you know that a soccer ball is very similar to a truncated icosahedron? Both have 32 faces, but while a truncated icosahedron is made up solely of flat hexagons, a traditional soccer ball has 12 pentagons and 20 hexagons, each curved...

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

Students identify solid figures. In this classification instructional activity, students recognize and name solid figures. Students identify which figures contain polygons and rectangles. Students practice counting vertices, faces and...

In this 3-D objects and common solids worksheet, students cut out and count the number of faces on several different types of boxes and make a cuboid from straws or a card. Students fill out 4 different categories involving 5 different...

Students investigate solid shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students take pictures of solid shapes and classify their pictures according to the vocabulary terms: edge, face and vertex. Students present their findings...

This hands-on lesson takes young geometers on a tour of 2D polygons and 3D polyhedrons. After exploring different web resources and discussing geometric shapes, small groups construct models of polyhedrons using bendable straws. Note:...

Fifth graders investigate mathematical concepts related to the construction of a three dimensional cube. They construct the cube from two dimensional patterns and compute the surface area. Students also define the faces, edges, and...

Students investigate orthographic drawings. For this geometry lesson, students identify properties of three dimensional drawings in space. They solve problems using volume and area formulas.

Young scholars read The Greedy Triangle and discuss geometric solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students list the geo-solids in the world and create a graphic organizer to show where geo-solids exist.

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.

Students identify different types of polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between convex and regular shapes. they identify the names of two and three-dimensional objects.

Students examine a Webmath page, and demonstrate how to copy and paste. They create a computer-generated template page presenting the attributes of two- and three- dimensional shapes.

Students examine and identify polyhedron shapes on a math website. They write journal reflections about two- and three-dimensional shapes, and transform a square into a pinwheel.

In this geometry assessment worksheet, students match the drawing of two faces of the solid to the name of the solid for six geometric figures.

Sixth graders explore characteristics of two and three-dimensional figures. They observe the teacher demonstrate the faces, edges, vertices and names of specific figures. In groups, 6th graders examine and describe given figures. ...
