Geometry - Making 3D Shapes with Manipulatives

As students learn about 3D shapes, they will need practice identifying, labeling, and creating the different shapes. There are lots of inexpensive, fun materials that students can use to practice making the shapes.

Toothpicks and Clay


CUBE



Toothpicks and Styrofoam Balls


CUBE


PYRAMID


Toothpicks and Mini Marshmallows





Pretzels and Gumdrops




Younger students could also be coloring, tracing, sorting, matching, identifying, and labeling 3D shapes.


Have fun with 3D Shapes!
