2. Shape Puzzle This is the pre-instructional activity. Students will hear “Do you recognize these shapes? Today you will learn about three dimensional shapes. But first let’s see if you can match the the three-dimensional shape to the two-dimensional shape it looks like. For example, the cone has a circle on the bottom, so I am going to drag the cone to the circle. Hint: some figures have more than one answer. Now you try!” The students will be provided with verbal feedback when they get the answer correct “great job” or incorrect “try again.”

3. Three Dimensional Figures This is the start of the actual content. Students would hear a voice saying: “Today you are going to learn about three dimensional figures. Sometimes they are called 3D shapes too!

4. What is 3D? Explanation of 3D - “A three dimensional figure has three dimensions, height, length, and depth. It is something you can pick up and hold. Everything in the world around you is 3D, the computer, your chair, your desk. Depth Height Length

5. Three Dimensional Figures “Now that you know what 3D is, let’s learn the names of the three dimensional figures!”
