Sixth graders explore three-dimensional objects. In groups, they create and decorate their own polyhedron design. After identifying the faces, vertices, and edges of the polyhedron, 6th graders determine a relationship between the...

Fourth graders explore polygons. In this polygon lesson, 4th graders sort polygons according to their properties. Students discover the connection between polygons and the Greek language.

Students explore geometry by defining a list of vocabulary terms. In this shape characteristics lesson, students identify a number of different shapes and discuss the amount of edges, vertices, and faces using the Euler formula. Students...

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.

Students work with three dimensional objects. In this geometry lesson plan, students examine models of spheres, cones, cubes, prisms, and pyramids, and identify them by their edges, vertices, and faces.

Seventh graders identify a polygon and classify them using congruent sides and number of edges and vertices. Students transform two dimensional objects into three dimensional objects.

Third graders engage in a instructional activity that focuses on the attributes and forming of a cube. They construct a cube using different combinations while comparing a square with only two-dimensions. Students fold paper while...

Students examine a chart that lists the main characteristics of polygons and 3 dimensional figures. They make examples of the polygons and figures using pretzels and gum drops showing how the gum drops are vertices and the pretzels are...

Sixth graders compare and contrast two-dimensional shapes to three-dimensional shapes. After watching a demonstration, they make their own shapes using nets printed on paper. To end the lesson, they use the shapes they made and...

In this solids worksheet, learners compute the volume of prisms, cylinders, pyramids, spheres and cones.  This seven-page worksheet contains approximately 68 problems. 

Students investigate the creation of three dimensional drawings. In this geometry lesson, students analyze and complete orthographic drawings. They Cabri software to manipulate and move the drawings around.

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. 

Students investigate solids. In this geometry lesson plan, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.

In this solid figures learning exercise, students use the figures for the cube, pyramid, and rectangular prism to answer the six questions about the characteristics of solid figures.

Students explore geometric vocabulary through creation of shapes on a geoboard. They present design attributes, transfer of design, and color-coding components mix to create a fun and exciting lesson plan that stretches student thinking.

Students review geometry unit content through a vocabulary/word game. They demonstrate understanding using geoboards to answer questions. They work in groups and it's a race to the correct answer.

Students learn five songs to define and develop understanding of the attributes of two- and three-dimensional figures and the meaning of mathematical terms. They classify objects as either two- or three-dimensional, through the use of...

Learners construct a pathfinder that could land an egg safely. In this physics lesson, students explain the factors affecting the dynamics of falling objects. They evaluate their pathfinder design.

Third graders create 2D and 3D shapes using marshmallows and toothpicks. For this geometry lesson, 3rd graders create their shapes and document the number of faces, edges, corners, angles, and sides. They share one shape and its...

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

Second graders identify different polygons and their attributes. In this geometry lesson, 2nd graders get to know polygons by studying the vocabulary and finding polygons in their classroom. They create these shapes and then find their...
