Classifying Pyramids

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on...

Go beyond the basic formulas and uncover the surface area and volume of 3-D shapes with this comprehensive and organized learning exercise packet. The problems include the basic formula computations while also challenging your learners...

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...

How do you find the area if an object has more than four sides? Learners view an interesting video to learn how to determine the surface areas of rectangular prisms and pyramids. They see how to draw two-dimensional nets of the figures...

This multimedia Learn Alberta math resource looks at surface area and volume and how math involved in the design of large inflatable shapes. The accompanying interactive component lets students investigate a variety of cylinders to get a...

Investigate the concepts of area, volume, 3D shapes, and nets using this interactive Learn Alberta math. The solid shapes focused on this exploration include rectangular and triangular prisms, rectangular and triangular pyramids,...

The lateral surface area of a cone. Hmmm, what does that mean? Oh, it means the part you see if the cone was sitting on a flat surface, so it does not include the base. But if you want to include the base then it would be finding the...

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...

 In this geometry instructional activity, learners read The Greedy Triangle and use geoboards to construct geometric shapes. They identify the number of sides and angles each shape has.
