Topic/Theme:

3-dimensional  shapes

 

Level:  

5th  grade

 

Time Element: 

one 50 minute period

 

 

NCTM Standards Addressed:

Identify, compare and analyze attributes of two and three dimensional shapes and develop vocabulary to describe the attributes

 

 

PA Math Standards Addressed:

2.9.5A -- give formal definitions of geometric figures

2.9.5D --  describe in words how geometric shapes are constructed

2.9.5E --   construct two and three dimensional shapes and figures

               using manipulatives, geoboards and computer software

2.9.5F --   fine familiar solids in the environment and describe them

 

Math Assessment Anchors Addressed:

M5.C.1

 

 Objectives:

  1. Students will construct three dimensional shapes with gumdrops and toothpicks.
  2. Students will be able to identify cubes, rectangular prisms, square,  and triangular pyramids
  3. Students will describe the attributes of each shape using the following terms—face, vertex, edge.

 

     

Instructional Strategies and Plan (include strategies used to help different types of learners, i.e. auditory, visual, etc.):

1.       Review the following vocabulary words—

 

face           edge                     vertex(vertices)                      

     3- dimensional  shapes

2.   Discuss the chart and have the students copy it on a clean sheet of paper.  See attached page for  an  example of the chart.

3.  Discuss procedures for the activity.

      Review the shapes to be constructed.

       Demonstrate the dipping of the finished structure into the

        dish detergent and water solution.(See recipe on attached page.)

       Review the process for recording the data.

       Pass out materials.

       Construct  the shapes.

        Dip  the shapes into the solution and  count the faces, edges 

        and vertices.

        Record the data on the individual charts.

         Discuss the data collected during the activity.

(This can be done individually or in small groups.)

 

              

 

Materials/Resources:

Gumdrops --- about 30 per group (or individual)

Toothpicks—about 40 per group (or individual)

Several buckets for dipping the shapes

A container of “good quality” dish detergent

Glycerin

10” piece of yarn (for dipping the constructed object into the bucket)- 1 per group(or individual)

Paper towels for clean up

A sheet of paper

 

IAssessment Strategies:

Formative Evaluation (checking student understanding during the lesson):

1. checking the data collected during the activity

2.  have students identify the shapes individually while they are doing the activity

3.  have students search for the constructed shapes within the immediate environment while they  are working on the activity

 

Summative Evaluation (How will it be determined that the objectives were achieved?):

           1.   pencil and paper test   -   on an attached page

 

Correctives/Remediation:

           1.  use plastic solids to review the names of the shapes and to help locate the faces, edges and vertices

 

Extensions/Enrichment:

1.      drawing nets of the constructed solids on grid paper

2.      allow students to attempt construction of a complex polyhedron

 

Special Accommodations (special needs students)

·          Description of the Special Needs student selected:

          any  Included learning support students

 

·          Accommodations to use with this student:

1.      use the plastic solids to help with the construction

2.      copy the chart for the student

3.      read the words as needed for individual students

 

 

Dipping Solution

 

5 parts dish detergent to 1 part glycerin
