Cubes Everywhere
Young scholars use cubes to construct and visualize two-and three-dimensional shapes to develop spatial thinking and review basic geometric principles through real-life applications. They are given the opportunity to build and build and...
Curated OER
Cube Models
Sixth graders are introduced to the concepts of area and volume. In groups, they work together to build models of square centimeters in which they are given no instructions. To end the lesson plan, they record the dimensions of each...
Curated OER
Spatial Relationships
Students investigate the geometry concept of spatial relationships. They draw a replica of a cube. Students list the planes on the cube and go into further depth with identifying the parallel line in segments of the cube. The...
