Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures

Think, question, brainstorm, and make your way through a newsletter full of puzzles and word problems. The resource includes 10 different newsletters, all with interesting problems, to give class members an out-of-the box...

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

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life it's easy to forget that geometric shapes are everywhere in the world around us. As they complete this shape identification activity, young mathematicians realize that many common real-life...

Blow up a solid by a scale factor. A section of a larger playlist on basic geometry introduces the ratios of the surface areas and volumes of similar solids. Using the ratios, the video works several examples involving similar figures.

Who knew there were so many parts to a geometric solid?! Well, you probably did, and your pupils will, too, after watching a video lesson on three-dimensional figures. Instruction includes a description of the parts of solids, naming...

Roll right along with an informative lesson that makes cents. Scholars learn that some shapes roll without any change in its width. The video in the Numberphile "Coins" series starts with two-dimensional figures, such as Reuleaux...

Middle and high schoolers perform transformations. In this web based lesson plan, students explore dihedral figures. They use the web tools to translate, rotate, and reflect figures. Pupils identify lines of symmetry.

Twelve chapters cover a multitude of math concepts found in the Common Core standards for sixth grade. Each title provides a brief explanation of what you will find inside the chapter—concepts from which you can click on and learn more...
