3D Shapes

In Math we have been exploring 3D shapes and looking at what 2D shapes can be found within 3D shapes. When you really start looking, you can find both 2D and 3D shapes EVERYWHERE!! Check out your house and your neighbourhood to see if you can find them! The vocabulary we are using for 2D shapes is that they have "sides" and "vertices" (vertex if there is just one-they will learn about angles in later grades). 3D shapes have "edges", "faces" (also known as surfaces) and "vertices". Today we did a few different stations to help us better understand these shapes and practice identifying the differences between them. We used playdoh, toothpicks and marshmellows, and pictures of real things in our world to sort into groups.
