What Am I?
Skills Content: Understanding solid geometric figures
Objective: The student will identify, describe, compare, and contrast characteristics of solid geometric figures (cube, rectangular prism, square pyramid, sphere, cone, and cylinder) by identifying relevant characteristics, including the number of angles, vertices, and edges, and the number and shapes of faces, using concrete models.
Materials:
· Solid geometric figures for student investigation and classroom display
· What Am I? Chart (attached)
· What Am I? Matching Cards (attached)
Vocabulary: square, rectangle, triangle, circle, right angle, opposite, sphere, cube, rectangular prism, angle, vertices, edges, faces, solid geometric figure, square pyramid, cone, cylinder
Directions:
1. Distribute copies of the What Am I? Chart.
2. Put students into small groups (2-3), and give each group one of the solid geometric figures. Instruct the groups to complete the chart of the solid geometric figures by filling in the names, number of faces, shape(s) of faces, number of edges, and number of vertices for their solids. Allow time for classroom discussion.
Assessment:
o Have students return recording sheets.
Differentiation:
o You have a secret solid geometric figure. Write some clues about it to share with a classmate so he/she can guess what figure you have.
