Plane Shapes

&

Solid Shapes

As part of our study of plane shapes and solid shapes, 

we read the following book which demonstrated how artists used these forms in their pieces of art.
Name the shapes that you see on the cover of the book.

Although students are familiar with the most common shapes, now they are learning to verbalize what distinguishes a square from a rectangle or a circle from a triangle. They describe shapes in terms of their sides and corners.

As with plane shapes, children are learning to describe solid shapes in terms of their attributes, such as their roundness or flatness, their ability to roll or slide, and the number of sides or corners. They will also come to see how the plane shapes comprise the faces of solid shapes. 

Over the next few weeks, please ask your child  to identify the names of solids in your environment.

i.e.: fridge - rectangular prism, ball - sphere, dice - cube
