Educating Our Eagles - Issue 13
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL: Building Shapes Kindergarten students at Undermountain Elementary created their own 2D and 3D shapes using Play-doh, straws, and toothpicks. The class learned key vocabulary words to identify shapes and used comparison tools to understand how each shape differs. As a result of instruction, students will be able to: • identify 2-D and 3-D shapes. • compare length of shapes and number of faces. Observations: Students enjoyed building their shapes! We first discussed the different types of 3D shapes we learned about and then began to construct them using various art-making supplies. Later in our unit, we worked on building 2D shapes. Students spent time discussing how they built their shapes with their classmates and what they discovered as they built them. MA Standards: K.G.B.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). K.G.B.5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. EDUCATING OUR EAGLES 10
