Introduction
(2 minutes)- Hold up a Kleenex box and a cut-out of a two-dimensional (2-D) rectangle (or draw one on the board).
- Ask students to think-pair-share which object is a 2-D shape and which object is a three-dimensional (3-D) shape with an elbow partner.
- Allow a few students to share out their ideas.
- Explain to the students that today they will learn how to identify 3-D shapes, like the tissue box, and the attributes, or characteristics, that go along with each shape!
