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.

In this assessment task students will determine the position of a shape from the perspective of another figure. They will be asked to use their words to tell where an object is and to tell the shape of the object they found. An assessment task sheet and a rubric are provided.
