Lesson Purpose

The purpose of the lesson is to teach students proper names and attributes of three-dimensional figures.  Students will learn the basics of three-dimensional shpaes including:  how they are different/similar to two-dimensional figures, and how they unfold into "net".

CCR Focus Standards

Geometry - Level A

• K.G.4

  Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).

Supporting Standards

• 2.G.1

  Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.
