KinderMath: Comparing Solid & Flat Shapes
This lesson will have children feeling for flat/solid shapes. Student pairs will play Guess the Shape with their partner. “Simon says get a shape that has three equal sides,” or “Simon says get a shape that has no sides AND can roll.” Is the shape flat or solid?" How many sides do you feel? Does the shape have any corners? Is the shape round or straight? Would the shape roll or stack?
