Solid Figures Lesson Plan: Problem Solving with 3 Dimensional Shapes

Submitted by: Julia

K-3

In this lesson plan, which is adaptable for grades K-3, students use BrainPOP Jr. resources to explore three-dimensional shapes (solid figures) in real-world contexts. Students will also apply understandings about solid figures to problem-solving scenarios.

Grade: 01

CCSS.Math.Content.1.G.A.1

Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.

Grade: 01

CCSS.Math.Content.1.G.A.2

Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape.1

Grade: K

CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

Grade: K

CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.A.3

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

Grade: K

CCSS.Math.Content.K.G.B.5

Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
