Exploring Geometric Solids
Share

Description

UPDATED: Grade levels changed to reflect Common Core Shift. Common Core Standards tagged.

This is a hands-on experience with 3-D shapes that your students will love. It would be great to use as an introduction to 3-dimensional figures and a helpful experience for students to use the math vocabulary.

Students will explore seven polyhedron listed in the table (possibly as a manipulative math center). While exploring the objects, they will be able to record their findings in the table on the work pages. For each shape, they need to take time in determining the number of faces, edges, and vertices.

You will need to provide the real geometric solids.

Standards

to see state-specific standards (only available in the US).
Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.
Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
