Introduce your students to 3D solid geometric shapes and encourage them explore their everyday space for these shapes. In this lesson, they will learn to look at a ball as a sphere!
In this hands-on lesson plan, students will learn learn all about 3D shapes in the real world. Can be used as a stand alone lesson or pre-lesson for the Solid Shapes lesson plan.
Look all around! We can find 2D shapes inside 3D shapes wherever we go! In this lesson, students will sort shapes and recognize the 2D components of common 3D shapes.
Hexagons make for funny faces! Help your students develop an understanding of this 2-D shape by differentiating them from other shapes and then turning them into silly hexagonal faces.
Studying faces in math is a little different from people watching, but can be equally as satisfying, if for different reasons. Whether students are working on calculating the area of different shapes, or they need to figure out different shapes’ edges and vertices, the worksheets below will gently remind them of the proper steps to achieve accurate answers to questions about faces.
