Lesson plans at Lakeshore Learning. Shapes...Shapes....Shapes.... 3D! - Kindergarten Kindergarten. My kids love 3-D shapes even more than they love 2-D shapes! They are super excited to learn everything they can about them, so that makes my job very easy. As always, hands-on exploration is essential in order for students to develop a solid understanding of 3-D shapes. So we play and explore a lot! I let the kids explore 3-D shapes by building, stacking, rolling, etc. Then we think of examples in real life--and this is where the real fun begins! Here are just a few examples of objects that make their way into the museum... And a few others that don't fit...mostly triangular prisms (which the kids mistakenly think are pyramids) and eggs (what shape are eggs, anyway? Here is one of my favorites from this year...the kids dubbed it a "Star-angular Prism"!
After a couple of weeks, all the shapes go back home. We also do 3-D shape recording sheets for our math journals.
