We are wrapping up 3D Geometry this week and I wanted to stop by the blog to share what we've been doing! In case you missed my 2D Geometry post, you can read it HERE.
I began by giving everyone a shape and telling them to "keep it a secret." I called out the names and said, "Stand up if you have a sphere." "Stand up if you have a cylinder." Etc...after I would call out the names, I showed them my large model for a clue. *They had exposure to these in kinder but I always like to start with a review before jumping into a new unit in first grade. After we checked out our shapes, we came to the carpet and looked a little closer. We talked about curved vs. straight sides and made a little Venn Diagram with the cards from my First Grade Geometry pack. Next, we watched a Harry Kindergarten You Tube Video on 3D shapes, which they loved.
As the week progressed on, we continued our learning. We worked through our Go Math books {blah} and I supplemented {quite heavily, like usual}. We had a 3D shapes taste test and everyone was so excited! *Tip: pre-make the bags to save yourself time and stress!!!
We reviewed the shapes with my 3D Shape Sort and my 2D/3D Shapes "I Have, Who Has" game {freebie!}.
We also played Kathy Law's "Spring Planting" board game as a fun review on Friday. We made 2D and 3D Flowers. The free flower template is from Smitten with First and the shape pictures can be found free HERE.
Have a great week!
