Learning goals
- Observe familiar objects from different angles
- Separate surface details from a shape’s overall form
- Recognize cylinders, prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres and cuboids
- Compare real objects with standard solid geometry

Everyday Objects Geometry Lab
An interactive 3D geometry lab for Grades 1–3. Rotate familiar objects, then use a continuous abstraction slider to see cylinders, prisms, pyramids, cones, spheres and cuboids emerge.
Grades1 - 2 - 3FormatSolid geometry / Interactive model / Geometry observation
How to use it
- 1Choose an everyday object from the selector
- 2Drag to rotate the 3D model and use the wheel to zoom
- 3Move the abstraction slider from left to right
- 4Compare the original object with the completed solid
Designed for
- Grade 1–3 learners meeting 3D shapes
- Home or classroom geometry demonstrations
