1. Geometry Unit Use the interactive site to locate and record the following information on the attributes of the given solids (see attached forms). If you need a wooden solid to help with this activity, let me know. htt p://www.learner.org/interactives/geometry/index.html Introduction: We live in a _____________- ___________________ world. All objects you can see or touch have three-dimensions that can be measured. These are: _____________, ______________, and _______________. The abbreviation for three-dimensional is _______. Name three objects in the classroom that are three dimensional. ________________ __________________ __________________

2. 3D Shapes: P olyhedra: A three-dimensional shape whose _________ are polygons is known as a ____________________. This term comes from the Greek words poly, which means ________, and hedron, which means ________. So…. A polyhedron is a 3-dimensional object with many faces. Examples of polyhedrons are: cube and rectangular prism The faces on a cube are ___________. The faces on a rectangular prism are ______________________. Explore the site to familiarize yourself with the nets of a cube, rectangular prism, cylinder, cone, and a square and triangular pyramid.

30. Teacher Notes Back to Title Page This is a teacher presentation lesson that has pictures and examples of the geometric solids that is in the 5th grade curriculum in Virginia. SOL 5.16: The student will identify, compare, and analyze properties of 3D (solid) geometric shapes (cylinder, cone, cube, square pyramid, and rectangular prism). Click on the shape on the title page to access the information about the solid. Each solid has three pages beginning with a definition and picture, followed by the picture and one "net" that can be folded to make the solid. A discussion on this page could be about what is another variation of the net that would still be able to be folded to make the solid. The third page is a properties page that allows for discussion of properties of the solid. Click on the Definitions object to link to a page of definitions. Google Geometric Solids or Mathnets or NCTM Illuminations for additional information about some of the solids. Definitions
