3-D Shapes

Geometry Gone 3-D
Math Use mini marshmallows and thin pretzels (or toothpicks) to make cubes, rectangular solids and pyramids as an introduction to, or reinforcement of, geometric shapes. Round and oval shapes can be made with chenille sticks, and a combination of craft sticks and chenille can be used to make cylinders. See what other objects your students can come up with to "show shapes."

Geometric Shapes
This lesson will teach students how to label each shape with the proper name, then construct shapes, and match objects that have the same shape and name the type of shape. Students can also compare and contrast how shapes are alike or different.

Surface Area of 3D Shapes
In this lesson, students build knowledge of surface area, and complete related worksheet problems related to painting props for a concert.

Going on a Shape Hunt: Integrating Math and Literacy
Students will identify specific two-dimensional and three-dimensional geometric shapes. Then they can practice pattern recognition and classification by locating shapes in their environment.

Solid Shapes – Comparing 3-D Objects Lesson
Students will learn how to identify, name and describe specific 3-D shapes and also be able to identify 3-D shapes in everyday objects by the end of this lesson.
