3D Shapes Resources

Students can start putting it all together when they begin to explore the realm of 3D shapes. All of that time studying 2D shapes gave them a solid foundation for the many objects they will define in the activities below. Balls and soccer-field cones bring theory to life, and students will love playing with the new information they are learning.

Shapes are more math than your child might think! Though shapes come into play in drawing and art, measuring them is a big part of middle-grade math, and 3D shapes are at the center of it all. 3D shapes are different from the shapes they've known since preschool -- they have more sides, take up more space, and offer more elements to work with. All of which means more math! If 3D shapes are throwing your kid for a loop, try one of our many 3D shapes resources. To find certain shapes in the wild, they can go on a real-life hunt for shapes. If they just need help differentiating two from three dimensons, they can play a sorting game. And for fun, they can make a paper model of a 3D shape of their choice! Once they get acquainted with 3D shapes, they can try their hand at calculating volume with a volume formula.
