SHAPES

Last week we looked at 2-D Shapes: triangle, circle, oval, square, rectangle, rhombus, trapezoid, and hexagons. We made a Shape Mural, made pattern block pictures, and even made our own "Book of Shapes" by turning 2-D shapes into people, animals, and/or things.

This week we are identifying 3-D shapes: cube, rectangular prism, sphere, cone, triangular prism, and cylinder. Tomorrow we will take a Shape Hunt around our classroom to look for 3-D shapes. Students will be given a Shape Hunt paper to take home. They will look around their house for 3-D Shapes.

Examples:

• cylinder - soda can, trash can, mustard bottle, etc.
• cube - microwave, box, ice cube, etc.
• sphere - orange, basketball, etc.
• rectangular prism - refridgerator, cereal box, etc.
• cone - ice cream cone, party hat, etc.
• triangular prism - tent, piece of cake, etc.

HAPPY HUNTING!
