● Combine materials to create an object for a specific purpose.
KNOWLEDGE (math)
● Common geometric attributes include
○ sides
○ vertices
○ faces or surfaces
● Two-dimensional shapes may have sides that are line segments.
● Three-dimensional shapes may have faces that are two-dimensional shapes.
UNDERSTANDING
● Shapes are defined according to geometric attributes.
● A shape can be visualized as a composition of other shapes.
Learning
Objective(s Students will be able to identify different properties of a 3D shape
●
) ● Students will be able to represent 3D shapes by building using different materials

“ Right, a square has sides, let’s count them, one, two, three, four
sides! It also has corners, or as we call them in mathematical terms,
“vertices”! There’s also another thing about this shape… It is flat and
two-dimensional! There is only length and width on this shape.”

“ So, when we look at most 2D shapes, they usually have sides, inutes
m
vertices (or corners), and they are always flat.”
“ Another thing you might notice about this cube is that it is made up
of different 2d shapes. If you look straight at this shape, you can see
a square. the flat side of each part of the cube is called a “face””
How many faces are on this cube? Let’s count them, one, two, three,

four, five, six! Six faces (or six 2D squares) make up this cube’s
shape!”

“Today, we are going to be building 3D shapes using different
materials! I want you to use our 3D shape blocks as a
guide/reference to build your shapes. The materials you will be able
to use are: popsicle sticks, straws, toothpicks, and playdough to stick
everything together. You will be put into groups of two to complete
this task. I am going to put the groups up on the board. Find your
partner, then find a spot. Once everyone has found their partner and
a spot and everyone is quiet, I will give you guys the next steps.”
Transition:
Have students find a group and a spot in the room to work.
“Now, I am going to give each group a cube, and you are going to
try and build this shape. When you’re building the shape, pay close
attention to the faces of your shape. When we looked at our cube,
we found that there were 6 square faces. So, when we build our
cube, what kind of shapes might make it up?”
“ Once you’re done with building your cube, raise your hand and Mrs.
Smith or I will check it. We will give you another 3D shape block and
you will be challenged to build that one. Any questions? Alright, get
building!”
Building Challenge:
Students will build shapes based on the 3d objects given to them. 20
Once they make the cube, they can move on to building other 3d minutes
shapes to challenge themselves.

Cleanup/Exit slip:
● Have students clean up and put away materials
● Bring class back and have them answer an Exit slip on a sticky
note 10
● Answer one of the following questions: minutes
● What was the easiest material to work with? Why?
● What was the hardest material to work with? Why?
● Why is it important to use sturdy materials to build things?
