Marshmallow Geometry

Three-dimensional shapes can be categorized based on their attributes, and scholars learn more about six figures through this sorting activity. They examine six shapes: sphere, cylinder, cone, cube, prism, and pyramid. There is a table...

For this three dimensional figures review worksheet, learners use their math skills to identify the 10 three dimensional figures pictured on the sheet.

Apply geometric properties and formulae for surface area and volume by constructing a three-dimensional model of a city. Learners use similar and congruent figures and transformations to create a city of at least 10 buildings. They trade...

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 to learn the...

Slice up solids. A portion of a geometry playlist introduces two conventional ways to visualize 3-D figures in 2-D. The resource defines cross-sections and nets and provides examples of both.

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...

In a three-dimensional space, a plane can be defined by three points it contains, as long as those points are not on the same line. Learn more about it in this video.

Learn how to use two-dimensional nets to identify their corresponding three-dimensional figure. The instructor uses diagrams to illustrate the two-dimensional nets and talks about the characteristics of each one to identify its...

Use Glencoe's randomly generated self-checking quiz to test your knowledge of three-dimensional figures. Each question has a "Hint" link to help. Choose the correct answer for each problem. At the bottom of the page click the "Check It"...

Young geometers explore relationships between units of measure and objects. Three activities provide varied opportunities to practice. Learners calculate the volume of two cylinders made by rolling a piece of paper vertically and...
