Lesson Title: _____Attributes of 3-Dimensional Shapes_____

Grade: _____2nd_____

Core Content CCSS: 2.G.1 Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of
angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes.

Core Content Learning Goal: The student will know that there are different ways to identify and describe
3-dimensional shapes.

Core Content Objective: When given a worksheet the students will be able to identify the number of faces,
edges, and vertices for the given 3-dimensional shapes with 80% accuracy.

Teacher Core Content Knowledge: Different attributes of 3-dimensional shapes, vertices, faces, and
edges.

Art GLE: II.1.C Identify and use geometric forms: sphere, cube, cylinder, and cone.
Teacher Art Knowledge: Know what a sphere, cube, cylinder, and cube are and how to describe them.
Art integration: I will be showing the students the different ways to identify the geometric forms by
showing them 3-d models, explaining the differences in edges, faces, and vertices. The students will be able
to show their knowledge by participating in the Kahoot game. When they are finished they will be able to
construct the different shapes using toothpicks and playdoh.

Learners Purpose
Can anyone tell me what a 3-D shape is?
Vocabulary
Abbreviation for 3-dimensional, which describes solid
shapes.
Shapes that have 3 dimensions (length, width, and
depth).

Has anyone here seen a 3-d movie or read a popup book?

In 3-d movies you wear glasses that make the characters
pop out of the screen and in popup books the pages
extend out from the page.

Instructional Input
Teaching script:
Modeling:

Show examples of 3-D shapes (cylinder, cone, cube, pyramid,

rectangular prism, sphere)

Cylinders, codes, and spheres all have curved surfaces.

Rectangular prisms, cubes, pyramids, cylinders, and cones
all have flat surfaces.
A line segment is where two faces meet.

Students
(include

Physical shapes

Yes, No

Comprehension
check:

An edge is where two flat surfaces meet.

A vertex is where three faces meet; a corner. (The plural
of vertex is vertices).

What are ways we could compare 3-d shapes?

Looking at the different vertices, faces, and edges.
Can anyone look around the room or think of an object that is a
3-d shape?
For example a Kleenex box is a rectangular prism or a
cube.

Different shapes
used to create
them, faces,
edges, vertices.
Waffle cone, ball

Guided Practice
Venn diagram, using Elmo, comparing a rectangular prism and a
cube.

Tool and Score
System:

3-D Shape worksheet/activity

Allow students to pass around 3-d shape models.
3-D Shape worksheet with answer key (18 points)

Differentiation for diverse learners in your classroom:

Adjusting the activity: Have students select a 3-D shape and trace all of its flat surfaces on paper. They
should identify the shapes of the faces, record the names on the paper, and then use that information
to describe the 3-D shape.
Early Finishers/Extension: Have students create a 3-D shape using toothpicks and playdoh. They should
write a 2-3 sentences describing the 3-D shape.

Materials & Technology Needed:

Teacher: Video from PBS.org, 3-D shapes, SMART board, 3-D shape worksheet, gummy candies and
toothpicks (pre-packaged), and playdoh.
Student: Pencil, clipboard

Room Set-Up and Management Strategies (e.g. logistics for differentiation as needed): Students will
be on carpet throughout lesson. They will complete independent practice at their choice of seating.
