How We Learned Our Space Shapes
a poem sung to the tune of "This Old Man"
Space Shapes
There are shapes
That take up space.
You can see them in any place.
A cone, cylinder,
cube, and sphere-
Space shapes are 3-D so let's give a cheer!

Building with Space Shapes
after reading, "Jack the Builder" by Stuart Murphy, we learned that space shapes can stack.
My Space Shape Book
We learned about the attributes of space shapes by completing a space shape book.
Space Shape Movement
We learned which space shapes could stack, slide, and/or roll and sorted them. After we recorded our results on a Space Shape Movement sheet.
Where is the Witch's Brook
Hide the broom behind a witch. To see if the broom is hiding there, the student has to say the color and the space shape name.
Space Shapes Guessing Bags
Students will guess which space shape is in the bag by feeling it, record responses on sheet, and draw a real-life object that is the same shape.
