TEKS: (8) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to: (B) classify and sort three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes as special rectangular prisms), and triangular prisms, based on attributes using formal geometric language;
Concept: using the number of faces, edges and vertices to identify and sort three dimensional shapes. (TEKS 2.8.B)
Objective: Students will identify and sort three dimensional solid figures based on attributes provided in formal geometric language.
Concept: using the number of faces, edges and vertices to identify and sort three dimensional shapes. (TEKS 2.8.B)
Objective: Students will identify and sort three dimensional solid figures based on attributes provided in formal geometric language.
mini lesson with Ms. leal
manipulative activity
Students will be given a list of geometric attributes that correspond to a specific three dimensional shape and will search for the solid shape within the classroom. Example: I spy with my little eye something with no vertices, no faces and no edges, what am I? The students will then look for anything in the room that is shaped like a sphere.
technology activity
Students will go on a mission to identify three dimensional shapes by their attributes to defeat the roboids.

assessmentONE-TO-ONE Assessment
With shape cards, the student will a) KNOWLEDGE: Identify the shape. b) APPLICATION: Provide the respective geometric attributes for each shape. c) SYNTHESIS: On a house, why might a pyramid-shaped roof be better than a flat roof? d) EVALUATION: Explain why most sports are played with spherical balls. |
