Exploration with Geometric Solids
Students reinforce geometric concepts by playing "Guess My Solid." Through a process of elimination, they determine the shapes of mystery solids. Finally, students use various materials to construct their own geometric figures.
Curated OER
Solid Shapes
In this geometric solids worksheet, students examine 4 different solid shapes then record the number of faces, the number of edges and the name of each shape.
Curated OER
Geometric Solids
First graders identify various shapes in everyday objects. in pairs, 1st graders go on a shape field trip to locate various objects of different shapes. They photograph the objects and later use the prints to write sentences describing...
Curated OER
Identifying and Classifying Solid Figures
Students identify and classify solid geometric figures. In this geometry lesson, students bring in objects that look like solid shapes and identify their attributes. Students identify the number of surfaces and faces on each figure.
Curated OER
Solid Figures
Students investigate solids. In this geometry instructional activity, students use toothpicks and gum drops to solve problems. They create visuals to help them see what is happening to the shapes.
Curated OER
Recognizing Three Dimensional Shapes
In this 3D shape worksheet, students review the names of 4 shapes on page one and color each shape a specific color to match the key on page two.
Curated OER
Chasing Shapes
Fifth graders sit in a circle and are given geometric attributes, i.e. four equal sides, etc. They run around the circle when a shape is called that corrolates to their attributes. They try to tag other students also running around the...
