We had an absolute blast today! I run my math block in a workshop format, where students rotate through 4 centers after a mini lesson. I promise I will do a future blog post all about math workshop centers, because wow! wow! wow! My math block is a teachers dream! I'm talking ZERO behavior problems
Today, our focus was on 2D and 3D shapes and the relationship between them.
Here are the activities we did:
Marshmallow Shapes: I bought a bag of marshmallows and some toothpicks. The kids started by making 2D shapes (like the squares pictured below) This helped them to grasp what corners and sides were in a shape because they could easily differentiate between the corners (marshmallows) and the sides (toothpicks).
The best part for the kids was eating the marshmallows after!
Geoboard Task Cards: The kids has a great time with this center also. They even asked if it could be added to our Friday game shelf! Who could say no to a kid who wants to practice a math game?!
There are 18 task cards in this game. Students have to create different shapes by name, by the amount of sides, or by the amount of corners.
 |
| Make 2 different sized rectangles. |
 |
| Make your own shape. How many sides and corners does it have? |
 |
| Make your own shape with more than 4 sides. |
