Use this geometry exercise with your third graders to practice recognizing the characteristics of a cylinder and finding real-life examples of the three-dimensional shape. For an added challenge, see just how many different shapes your students can name!

Cylinders in Different Settings

Spheres are all around us—from home to school and in between! Have your students search for real-life spheres around them with this fun geometry activity that will deepen their understanding of this ubiquitous shape.

Everyday Spheres

Here's a drawing lesson that also doubles as a geometry review! Learn how to draw a cylinder as you create a drawing of a mug.

How to Draw a Cylinder

What makes a cylinder a cylinder? How does it compare to a cube or cone? Use this great geometry resource with your students to practice identifying the characteristics of a cylinder and comparing them to other three-dimensional shapes.

Characteristics of Cylinders

Help your young mathematicians develop an understanding of spheres with this geometry resource. Students will seek to identify and count the three-dimensional shape using pictures of real-life objects.

Count the Spheres!

What makes a cone different from a cylinder or a cube? Use this helpful resource with your students to take their geometry skills to the next level as they practice identifying the characteristics of a cone and comparing them to other 3-D shapes.

Characteristics of Cones

This drawing lesson has a geometric twist! Learn how to draw a sphere by starting off drawing an apple.
