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...

In this rectangular prism instructional activity, students find the volume and surface area of 3 rectangular prisms. Answers are included on page 2.

Fifth graders examine patterns and relate to equations to solve math problems.  In this patterns lesson, 5th graders diagram, graph, use models and use tables to solve equations for real world problems.

Students create two prisms out of the same paper. They calcuate the number of centimeter cubes needed to fill each prism. They discover the concept of volume.

Geometry is all around us—if we're only willing to look. The final three activities of the Fun with Solids unit continue work on surface area and volume. For lesson three, scholars investigate the formulas for spheres and solve a problem...

Figure out the correct name for different three-dimensional shapes by watching the presentation on solid figures. Go through the main figures and read about the characteristics of each. Finish the topic with a multiple choice online...

Students understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

In this trigonometry activity, learners find the lengths of triangles. They construct triangles and spirals. Students complete indirect measurement problems. They find the distance between objects and determine the volume of rectangular...
