PBS Kids: Cyberchase Shape Quest
PBS Kids

Play with Buzz, Delete, and their animal friends through three math-based games focused on geometry, spatial reasoning and problem solving.

PBS Kids: Cyberchase 3D Builder
PBS Kids

Bumbling bots Buzz and Delete accidentally zapped the houses in Botopolis totally flat. Help rebuild the town by turning 2D shapes into 3D structures.

Math Game Time: Rubik's Snake
Math Game Time

In Rubik’s Snake, your shown a picture and you’re shown a snake. 

You must twist and rotate the snake to create the given shapes.

Math Game Time: Kangaroo Hop - Geometric Shapes
Math Game Time

How well do you know your shapes?

Help your kangaroo cross the pond by naming shapes!

OLogy: Thinking in Three Dimensions
OLogy (American Museum of Natural History)

Explore the third dimension by building an origami waterbomb!

youcubed: Building Shapes (6-8)
youcubed (Stanford University)

Students work together using a rope to create 3-D shapes.

youcubed: Reduce, Reuse, Geometry (3-12)
youcubed (Stanford University)

Intersecting a 3D shape and a plane might seem intimidating, but a few bottles, a box cutter, and some creativity can give us some insight into what it can look like.

youcubed: Unraveling Circles (K-12)
youcubed (Stanford University)

We use cylinders and circles around the house all the time like cans, tortillas, and rolls of paper towels, but what secrets do these shapes hold if we unravel them?

NRICH: Building Towers
NRICH (University of Cambridge)

In this task, children will explore 3D shapes when selecting which shapes to use in their tower.

NRICH: Making Footprints
NRICH (University of Cambridge)

In this activity, children will develop an awareness of the faces of 3D shapes by using them to make ‘footprints’ in soft dough.

NRICH: Cuboid Perimeters
NRICH (University of Cambridge)

Can you find the volume of a cuboid, given its perimeters?

NRICH: Partly Painted Cube
NRICH (University of Cambridge)

Jo made a cube from some smaller cubes, painted some of the faces of the large cube, and then took it apart again. 45 small cubes had no paint on them at all. How many small cubes did Jo use?
