    Math: Solid Shapes 

We begin a new unit on 2D & 3D shapes today. 

We will read the book Cubes, Cones, Cylinders, & Spheres by Tana Hoban and take time discuss the pages that illustrate solid shapes {cones, cylinders, cubes, and spheres}. It is important to identify the shapes by their name and use the words “3D” and “solid” interchangeably.

I will show the kids a party hat, ball, soup can, and box and describe their attributes by using vocabulary like: flat, curvy, point, roll, slide, stack.

The children will explore freely with solid shapes for the remainder of math time.
