Common Core Standards:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.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).

Targeted Needs of Student:

Comparing and contrasting 3D shapes, identifying characteristics of 3D shapes, speaking about math, recognizing 3D shapes in students’ environments

Goal:

Understanding the characteristics of 3D shapes and using language to describe these 3D shapes

Materials Needed:

1. Paper lunch bags
2. 3D objects from home
3. Marker

Explanation/Summary:

Students will be given a 3D shape to find at home. They will put their 3D solid into a lunch bag and write three clues or characteristics of the 3D shape for their classmates to guess.
