For our math project this month, we will be discussing two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. This falls under our standards K.G.1: Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes and describe the relative position of these objects using terms such as above, below, besides, in front of, behind, and next to for two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. K.G.2: Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall sizes for two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Each student will be able to pick one of the two projects to complete and turn in on Friday, April 3^rd. Just a little reminder 2-D shapes are shapes that are flat, and 3-D shapes are shapes that have depth and dimension. Each student will be required to fill in the provided worksheet depending on which project they choose. Each student will be responsible for presenting their shapes projects which falls under our SL.K.6 standard: students must speak audibly and express thoughts, feelings, and ideas clearly.

Pick a Project:

Students will be encouraged to use their knowledge about 2-D and 3-D shapes that we are currently discussing in class. Students will have to be encouraged to express their artistic abilities when making a 2-D or 3-D project. This project can be anything they want it to be; it can be a house, a robot, an animal, a city, etc. Students will be encouraged and graded on creativity.

Option 1: Students will make a two-dimensional picture using all the shapes discussed in our 2-D unit: those shapes. This picture can either be 2-D shapes cut out and glued to form the project, or it can be drawn using 2-D shapes.

Option 2: Students will make a three-dimensional project using all the 3-D shapes discussed in our 3-D unit: those shapes include spheres, cubes, cylinders, and cones.

This project is due on April 3rd!
