Solid Shapes

Students will be able to identify and name basic solid shapes, such as cubes, spheres, cones, and cylinders. Students will be able to sort and classify objects by their shape attributes, such as the number of faces, edges, or corners. Students will be able to use solid shapes to create simple structures and designs, such as stacking cubes to make a tower or arranging cones in a pattern. Students will be able to use spatial reasoning to identify and match solid shapes, such as finding a sphere that is the same size as a cube. Students will be able to recognize and describe the solid shapes they see in their environment, such as the shapes of toys, household items, and natural objects. Students will be able to use solid shapes to create representations of objects and ideas, such as using a cylinder to represent a tree trunk or a cone to represent a party hat.
