Three Dimensional Shapes

Have you ever built a 3 dimensional solid? Your third grader did today. They cut out templates, folded and taped. They made rectangular prisms, triangular prisms, and pyramids. We are learning to identify and count the number of faces, edges and vertices (corners) each shape has.

Have you ever played "Headbands?" In this game one player wears a picture or a word on their head so they can't see it. The player tries to figure out what the word or picture is by asking the other players yes or no questions. We played today using geometrical terms. Try playing it with your family. It's lots of fun! :o)
