=3-D Shapes=


 * Subject:** Mathematics; Geometry


 * Grade Level:** Kindergarten

**MA.K.G.2.4:** Interpret the physical world with geometric shapes, and describe it with corresponding vocabulary **MA.K.G.2.5:** Use basic shapes, spatial reasoning, and manipulatives to model objects in the environment and to construct more complex shapes
 * Standards:**
 * MA.K.G.2.3:** Identify, name, describe, and sort three-dimensional shapes such as spheres, cubes and cylinders


 * Objective:** Students will be able to identify three dimensional shapes,interpret them in the real world, and be able to construct complex using two and three dimensional shapes


 * Overview:** Students will learn how to identify three dimensional shapes based on their characteristics and will be able to describe them and notice the shapes around the classroom


 * Materials:**
 * Three dimensional blocks
 * White board
 * Dry erase markers
 * Construction paper-different colors
 * Scissors
 * Computer


 * Procedures:**
 * 1) While the students are seated at their desk, pick up a block and ask the class if they know what that shape is
 * 2) Describe the characteristics of the shape and write it on the white board
 * 3) Read the characteristics aloud
 * 4) Do the same for cube, sphere, and cylinder


 * Activites:**
 * 1) I-Spy
 * 2) 3-D Math Game
 * 3) Build -A-House


 * Evaluation:** Are the students able to identify 3-D shapes and explain why they are three dimensional? Did the students answer the question in the game correctly? Were the students able to build complex shapes? If not, where did they struggle?
