During math this week we continued naming, identifying, and analyzing the following 3d shapes- cube, cone, cylinder, sphere, and rectangular prism. We have been discussing how many vertices, faces, and corners each 3d shape has. Students created a 3d shape mat with pictures and names of 3d shapes and sorted snack foods like combo’s, whoppers, caramel cubes, etc. It was a lot of fun!!! Thanks to those who helped by bringing in these geometric snacks! Comparing 2d and 3d shapes is something you can work on at home. For instance, a cube and a square are different because the square is 2d and the cube is 3d. They are the same because the cube has square faces. Another example would be that a circle and a cube are different because the circle is 2d and the sphere is 3d. They are the same because they both don’t have any vertices/corners. At home, you can go on a 3d shape hunt around the house and community! Discuss with students how many faces and vertices these shapes have. At home, please make sure students continue to practice counting to 120 by 1’s and practicing writing their numbers as high as they can go! (Fun ways of writing numbers can be with chalk outside, in sand or shaving cream, on a whiteboard, etc.) Here are our math standards for our shapes unit: MGSEK.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. MGSEK.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. MGSEK.G.3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes. MGSEK.G.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). MGSEK.G.5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. MGSEK.G.6. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?” Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. MGSEK.MD.3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count. Reminders:
Monday: the 100th day of school (100th day projects due- 100 items grouped and pasted on a display and students can dress as 100 year olds!) coming up: VIP day is Febuary the 5th 7:50-8:30 if you have not done so already please record who is coming to be a VIP on this day for your child on the class shutterfly.
