This lesson has students see the difference between a 2-D and a 3-D shape. The lesson begins by reading a story titled "Shapes in Our World" by Moira Anderson. Then, students are introduced to the names of various 3-D shapes and they get to explore by looking around the classroom and finding various 3-D shapes. ]]> 2017-11-17 01:06:58 UTC https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207951468 katias95 https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207952729 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ikaSgNDnrv0

This video demonstrates how geoboards can be used for the understanding of area as opposed to simply providing students with the area formula of a given shape.]]> 2017-11-17 01:16:19 UTC https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207952729 katias95 https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207954914 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJJiF-dVYTc

This is a long video containing different songs for different geometry topics. We decided to focus on the first one since it is a fun rap explaining 3-D shapes and where those can be found in the real world. Great hook for young students!]]> 2017-11-17 01:32:33 UTC https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207954914 katias95 https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207955360 https://www.mathgames.com/skill/1.2-identify-shapes-ii

This is an online game targeted to 1st graders. The screen prompts three different shapes and then asks the player "which shape is a __?" and the player must click on the right shape. It is by no means challenging, but does require an overall understanding on the names of shapes and what they look like.]]> 2017-11-17 01:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207955360 katias95 https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207955924 This is a great poster to have at the classroom as a reminder of the different parts of 3-D shapes. It also includes definitions students can use whenever they are working on an assignment and get confused.]]> 2017-11-17 01:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/katias95/rp5ta62f9un7/wish/207955924
