The goal of this lesson is for students to understand that plane figures are different from solid figures. Students will identify and locate the face of a solid figure that matches a plane figure, such as the face of a cube is a square, the base of a triangular based pyramid is a triangle.

In this lesson, students build three-dimensional representations of shapes. They discuss attributes of their shapes, and predict if their shapes will roll, slide, or both.
Kindergartners need lots of opportunities to explore, investigate and to discuss the different properties of both two and three dimensional shapes. As students learn more geometric content, they will begin to be more sophisticated in their ways of thinking.

Students are asked to draw a set of two-dimensional shapes, and build three-dimensional shapes from clay. This task may be used for instructional or assessment purposes.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.Students need distributed practice of newly-learned skills to develop fluency, build proficiency, and deepen understanding. This file contains directions for activities which may be used as Cluster 6 games or math stations.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains sample anchor charts to create with students. Anchor charts are to be made with students, then displayed as a classroom reference. Parents may also benefit from seeing anchor charts, as they provide a snapshot into the math class.Remix this resource to include pictures of your own anchor charts.
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers. This file contains a set of 3 tasks (including scoring rubric and recording sheets). The tasks may be used for instruction or assessment.The focus of standard G.1 is on recognizing/drawing 2D shapes and recognizing/describing 3D shapes. Please remix this resource to help create additional tasks - especially for 3D shapes!
This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.In this lesson, students are given boxes to cut apart. As they decompose the boxes, students notice the 2-dimensional shapes used to construct their 3-dimensional boxes. A printable student recording sheet is provided within this lesson.Remix to include pictures of student work samples.
In this lesson, students will observe, measure, and describe water as it changes state. Students will work in pairs to use writing and illustrations to record their observations of ice melting to water and water freezing to ice.
In this lesson, students will observe, measure, and describe water, chocolate, and margarine as they change state. Students will make observations about the amounts of these materials before and after freezing and melting.
