Learning Intentions:
I can define a shape.
I can identify and describe the properties of 2D shapes.
I can identify and describe the properties of 3D shapes.
I can identify shapes in every day objects and explain the uses for these.
Everything we see in the world around us has a shape. We can find different basic shapes such as flat two-dimensional shapes such as a square, rectangle, and oval or solid three-dimensional shapes such as a rectangular prism, cylinder, and sphere in the objects we see around us.
These geometric shapes appear in objects we see as credit cards, bills and coins, finger rings, photo frames, dart boards, huts, windows, magician’s wands, tall buildings, flower pots, toy trains, and balloons.
