1. In your group, handle, examine and discuss the physical characteristics of the geometric solids. Fill out the first five columns of the "Name That Shape" spreadsheet for each solid. (Picture of shape, # of faces, # of edges, # of vertices and other observations)
2. Cooperatively create a way to classify the solids by comparing/contrasting the geometric solids in front of you. Be prepared to share this with the class.
3. Now that we have classified each solid, work with your group to find real world examples of each of the solids. Add pictures and descriptions to the spreadsheet, remember to include the name of the object and its location.
