MathPlay for Pentagons (5s):

"Discovering 3-D Shapes"

Tuesday, May 11 at 5:45 pm ET (New York)

Students will be introduced to the properties and parts of 3-dimensional shapes.  They will look at images of everyday objects and determine which image most closely resembles a 3-D shape.  Students will learn the difference between 2-D and 3-D shapes and have fun sorting 2-D and 3-D shapes.  Students will also determine which 3-D shapes can: roll, slide and stack.

Materials needed: activity sheets to be provided (to print prior to session) and one marker or pencil.
