Practice writing real-world word problems. Think about your daily routine and how easily math applies to your life. Create a Google Form and send your word problems to several classmates. Include your friends and family in your word problems, challenge yourself with the knowledge we have learned throughout the school year and submit answers to your word problems.

Go to the attached website.

Begin with level 1, until you feel that you have mastered the identification of the correct 3D shape as it pertains to the net.

Once mastered, move to Level 2. This will test your knowledge in identifying different nets that can represent a specific 3D shape.

Nets of 3D Shapes

3D Nets is wonderful game for young students to learn about 3D shapes and their nets. Net of a 3D shape is a two-dimensional shape that can make the given 3D shape. In this game, you have to recognize the shape a given net can make, and the nets that can make a given 3D shape. The game has superb animation to show how a 3D shape can be made by its net, and the other way round. This game will help students understand 3D shapes, their nets, and the interchange between them very clearly while having a lot of fun.

How to play 3D Nets

A wonderful game for young students to learn about 3D shapes and their nets.

What are the nets of 3D shapes?

A net of a 3D shape is a 2D image of what the shape would look like cut and laid out flat. Think of it like each 3D shape having a skin or a rind that you then carefully slice and peel in order to flatten it on a table. Some 3D shapes can have more than one possible net.

How do you match nets to 3D shapes?

Visualization. You have to carefully picture the folds in your mind, and then bend or fold the shape in order to move from a 2D- to a 3D-shape. To check your answer, you can draw the net on a piece of paper, and then carefully fold it up to see if your 3D shape matches what you've pictured in your head.

In this activity, you will virtually design nets for multiple 3D shapes in order to construct a "fairytale" castle. Below is an example from http://looseshoelaces.blogspot.com/

# data[].attributes.body
You can use resources such as GeoGebra or images of graph paper to begin your design. The virtual resources will allow you to more easily make exact copies of your shapes to use them multiple times.

# data[].attributes.body
There are 2 options for your final project.
1. Use graphic designing to submit a virtual 360 degree version of your castle.
2. Print off and construct your castle.

Use different shapes that we haven't learned about yet! Imagine a tower with a dodecahedron on the top, instead of the traditional cone.

Create several blog postings about a specific topic in math and/or geometry that has been discussed this year. Be sure to include facts and definitions that we have learned.

# data[].attributes.body
Submit several question prompts to your viewers so that they can become actively engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
Send your blog to at least 5 friends, family, or classmates. Be sure to respond to several posts to keep the learning going! Most importantly, have fun!

# data[].attributes.body
Create an idea map for a specific topic in math and/or geometry. Include definitions, examples, images, and more. Personalize your idea map to fit your understanding of the topic. Submit a screenshot or the link to your idea mpa.

Google search images of cells, viruses, etc. under the microscope. Observe the different shapes that are created in nature. Although they might not fully represent a specific shape, identify and explain the similarities that they may have with squares, rectangles, circles, etc.

The open trap of a carnivorous floating plant took first prize in the 2013 Olympus BioScapes Imaging Competition.

Now in its tenth year, the contest honors images of humans, plants, and animals taken through light microscopes.

Judges chose the 10 winning images out of 2,100 entries based on "the science they depict, their beauty or impact, and the technical expertise involved in capturing them," according to a press release.

The top prize went to Igor Siwanowicz, a researcher at the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Virginia. He will take home $5,000 worth of Olympus equipment.

Check out the award-winning images here and see more of the entries on the Olympus website.
