In this lesson, students will form cubes and discuss their attributes including edges, faces, vertices, and angles. Media resources and teacher materials are included.

Introduces the concept of 3D shapes by learning the definition, types, properties, and three dimensions. Check-out the solved examples for better understanding and try your hand at solving a few interactive questions at the end of the page.

This tutorial features templates and instructions to make the following solids: tetrahedron, cube, octahedron, dodecahedron, and icosahedron.

This site not only defines what a polyhedron is, but it allows you to view each of the five regular polyhedra through an interactive exercise. After selecting which polyhedron you'd like to see, it will tell you its name and how many...

Use Euler's Formula and properties of known platonic solids' faces, edges, and vertices to determine why only five platonic solids exist.

Sixth graders explore the faces, bases, edges, and vertices of prisms and pyramids to help develop the concepts of volume and surface area.

For this lesson, students will create cubes and identify the attributes of a cube, including discussion of edges, faces, vertices, and angles. Teacher resources are provided.

This is a hands-on activity that introduces students to the five Platonic solids. Students will discover the special relationship between faces, vertices, and edges. Students will research the Platonic solids and then construct and...

The instructional tool explores various geometric solids and their properties. Student can manipulate and color the different shapes. Learners examine the edges, faces, and vertices of the different solid figures.

Watch a video and complete the activities to learn about the properties of 3D shapes.
