Math this month
We
are working on 2D shapes and 3D objects.
The outcomes are listed below.
SS2 – Sort 3D objects and 2D
shapes using one attribute, and explain the sorting rule
* Sort a given set of familiar 2D shapes or 3D
objects using a given sorting rule
(these
shapes all roll, or these shapes all have a curved edge, these shapes all have
at least one circle face, etc)
* Determine the difference between two given
pre-sorted sets of familiar 2D shapes and explain a possible sorting rule used
to sort them.
SS3 – Replicate composite 2D
shapes and 3D objects
* We have been making shapes and objects using
geoboards, clay, and drawings in class this week.
SS4 – Compare 2D shapes to
parts of 3D objects in the environment
* Identify 3D objects in the environment that
have parts similar to a given 2D shape
