Introduction
(10 minutes)- Invite your students to play "I Spy" with something familiar, such as colors.
- Reintroduce the game by using the attributes of shapes of solids. For example: I spy with my little eye something that can stack.
- Give your students three guesses before another attribute is added, such as: I spy with my little eye something that can stack and has 6 faces.
- Ask your students to guess the shape. When it has been guessed, have that same student come up with another clue.
