Christo’s Building
Hook your charges on how to solve a real-world art problem with mathematics by showing works of Christo. You can find eye-catching images on the Christo and Jeanne Claude webpage. Here, math learners help Jean Claude and Christo prepare...
Curated OER
Two for One Box Company: Student Worksheet
Fifth and sixth graders work alone or in pairs to determine the volume of paper boxes of various dimensions. Pupils write ratios of dimensions and volumes.
Curated OER
Children's Museum of Houston - Pre/Post Classroom Activities - Nets
Students make three dimensional shapes with nets. In this nets instructional activity, students receive nets which they fold to make a three dimensional object. They predict what shape each net will make and verify it after making the...
Curated OER
Nets And Surface Area
Upper graders investigate how to find the surface area when using two-dimensional shapes. They conduct an investigation in groups while working sample problems given during class discussion with the teacher. They also review how to...
Curated OER
Box It Up
Young scholars calculate the surface area of prisms. In this geometry lesson, students investigate the properties of prisms and analyze ways to calculate the are of a rectangular prism. They derive the formula for surface area.
Curated OER
Grade 3 Mixed Math Practice- Mars, X
In this grade 3 mixed math worksheet, 3rd graders complete 9 problems. They work with fractions, nets, line segments, elapsed time, and a data table. They draw the bar graph to go with the data, and practice mental multiplication.
Curated OER
Pyramids on Parade/Nets
Students sketch the shape of three dimensional pyramids using nets. In this geometry lesson, students differentiate a pyramid from other three dimensional shape. They define the attributes of pyramids.
Curated OER
Nets and 3 Dimensional Figures
In this nets and 3 dimensional figures worksheet, 5th graders look at the 3D figure and the net and mark yes or no if it is an accurate representation.
Curated OER
Net (Rectangular Prism)
In this geometric net worksheet, students cut out a net and fold it on the correct lines before pasting or taping it to make a three dimensional rectangular prism.
Curated OER
Drawing Patterns For Solids
In this patterns worksheet, 4th graders look at 2 solids, a cone and a cube, and then circle the multiple choice letter of the net for each solid.
Curated OER
Rectangular Prism Net
In this geometry worksheet, students cut out a rectangular prism net. They cut along the dotted lines as indicated the scissors icon, and fold the piece along the solid lines to form the three-dimensional shape. There are no directions...
Curated OER
Building With Triangles
Fourth graders use two different techniques to construct triangles with specific dimensions. They determine how to construct nets for three-dimensional objects focusing on those made with equilateral triangles. They are able to name the...
Curated OER
Two for One Box Company
Eighth graders experiment to decide if a box that is twice as big holds twice a much. They work the concept of volume and how changing dimensions affect it.
Curated OER
Two for One Box Company
Students draw a net (a two-dimensional pattern that can be formed to make a solid) for making an open top box on grid paper. They cut out the net and fold up each side to form the open box and tape the sides, then find the volume of the...
Curated OER
Net (Open Cylinder)
In this geometric shape activity, students cut out a net pattern. Students tape or paste the net to make an open cylinder. There are no questions.
Curated OER
Nets and Surface Area - Mental Math
In this mental math worksheet, students use mental math to find the surface area and determine nets of the given shape. They use an information sheet as an aide to find the answer to 30 questions.
