Geometry--3D Shapes

1.6  the student uses attributes to identify 2D and 3D geometric figures.  The student compares and contrasts 2D and 3D geometric figures or both
K	1	2
K.8C  Sort a variety of objects including 2D and 3D geometric figures according to their attributes and describe how they are sorted K.9A  describe and compare attributes of real life objects such as balls, boxes, cans and cones or models of 3D figures K.9B  recognize shapes in real life 3D geometric figures or models of 3D figures	1.6B  describe and identify three-dimensional geometric figures, including spheres, rectangular prisms, cubes, cylinders and cones	2.7A  describe attributes (number of vertices, faces, edges, sides) of 2D and 3D figures such as circles, polygons, spheres, cones, cylinders, prisms, and pyramids 2.7B  use attributes ti describe how two 2D figures or two 3D figures are alike or different
Describe 3D figures including spheres Describe 3D figures including rectangular prisms Describe 3D figures including cylinders Describe 3D figures including cones Describe 3D figures including cubes Identify 3D figures including spheres Identify 3D figures including rectangular prisms Identify 3D figures including cylinders Identify 3D figures including cones Identify 3D figures including cubes

Activities:

• Fits My Pattern--played similarly to the word study game by this name.  Teacher will create a chart with "Fits My Pattern" and "Does Not Fit My Pattern".  Teacher places shape on the chart and students decide why certain shape fit and don't fit the pattern.
• Class tree map of the 3d shapes
• "What's in my bag" game.  All shapes are placed into a bag. Students reach into the bag, grab a shape and describe it using attributes.  Other students have to guess the shape based on the clue
• To distinguish between 2D and 3D, bring a stuffed animal (bear) 3D and have a picture of a bear for 2D.  A 2D is flat (show flat with your hand by claping them together in a vertical position).  A 3D figure has space (show your two hand horizontaly pretending somenthing is in the middle)
