Three Dimensional Shapes Unit of Study: Geometry and Fractions Global Concept Guide: 1 of 3
Content Development • Children already have substantial experience with plane, or two-dimensional, figures including naming and sorting them by number of sides or angles. This is extended to include three-dimensional figures, as well as other attributes. • Throughout this unit, children should have hands-on experiences with three-dimensional shapes. • Provide opportunities for the children to sort the shapes according to their own rules. • Provide opportunities for students to discuss how the shapes are alike and different. • It is important for students to use real-world objects and three-dimensional shapes to deepen their understanding.
Content Development • Throughout this unit it is imperative that both teachers and students attend to precision when discussing 3 dimensional shapes and their attributes. The following terms will be used throughout the unit:
Day 1 • Essential Question: How can you identify three-dimensional shapes in the real world? • Ample time should be spent on Day 1 allowing students opportunities to explore the three-dimensional shapes. • Possible Engage:
Day 1 continued • After students have had opportunities to explore the classroom and identify three-dimensional shapes, they will be able to complete elements of Go Math Lesson 11.1 or similar tasks. • Mega Math: Match Solid Figures with Real-Life Objects • By the end of Day 1, students will be able to (1) identify three-dimensional shapes/real-world objects when given a set of attributes and (2) identify the attributes of three-dimensional shapes/real-world objects.
Day 2 • Essential Question: How can I sort three-dimensional shapes based on their attributes? • Possible Engage: Provide students a set of three-dimensional shapes. • Have students complete an open sort (students select how they want to sort the shapes/objects based on their own rules- (i.e. shapes that roll vs. shapes that slide, etc.). Students should record their rule on an index card to be used later in the lesson. • Once students have completed their open sort, engage them in a gallery walk. As students rotate to each group, have them guess how the shapes were sorted. Students should record their guess in their journal and then check the index card. • As students are working, circulate around the classroom and select groups you want to highlight during the discussion. • Facilitate a discussion about how students sorted their shapes. Questions may include: • What attribute do the figures in this pile have in common? • Is there another way the shapes could have been sorted? • Mega Math: Sort Solid Figures- Stack, Roll, Slide
Day 2 • After the discussion select one 3 dimensional shape and have students create list of attributes. • The following task can be adapted to help students understand the attributes of shapes: • Record attributes on anchor chart to use a reference. • Mega Math- Sort Solid Figures- Faces, Edges, Vertices • Mega Math Classify Solid Figures • By the end of Day 2, students will be able to sort shapes based on attributes.
Day 3 • Essential Question: How are rectangular prisms and cubes alike and different? • Sample engage: Provide students with a rectangular prism and a cube. As a group, have them look at the shapes and discuss and record similarities and differences in a T-Chart • Students should explain that each of the shapes have 6 faces, 12 edges, and 8 vertices. They should also notice that a cube is made up of ALL square faces where a rectangular prism is made up of square and rectangular faces. • Learn Zillion video ~ • Quick code 3438 – Draw Cubes • Quick code 3465- Identify Cubes (for Teacher Professional Development) • Lesson 11.2 may be used along with this lesson to explore the two shapes.
