Over the last few weeks, my kindergartners have been learning about Three-Dimensional shape. Here are some of our favorite stations. Making a Town Using Three-Dimensional Shapes My students LOVED working with a friend and creating a part of the town. At large group time, we brainstormed what we needed to have in our town. Students made little signs and will soon be making maps of the town. We will also learn about creating and giving directions. I hope to have my students create an anchor chart of meaningful words we can use. We will continue to add to this! Guess My Secret Rule (Silent Math) During this lesson, the teacher begins to sort shapes into a pile. It is called Silent Math Time because no one can talk, including the teacher! Students will be called on silently. If a shape belongs it stays in the pile, but if the shape does not belong, the teacher will move it out. When the game is over, the teacher will talk. "Okay class, who can tell me what the secret rule is?" Shape Shadows What kind of shadow will a cylinder make? It was a little tricky to use a flashlight to see the shadows of the figures. But a colleague suggested we put it in the natural sunlight. The kids were amazed!! Guess My Shape One child is IT and takes an object out of the first bag and puts it in the second bag. We started the game with a cylinder, cone, sphere and the cube. The person who is IT gives two clues about the shape. I have a circle face. I have a point. What shape am I? The children playing the game, circle (on the recording sheet below) what shape they think it is. The sheet allows them to play four rounds. We first started playing this game with four shapes and added two more. After playing this game many times, the person who is IT can record their clues.

Anchor Chart During interactive writing time, we recorded our observations about the three dimension shapes. We made illustrations of real world objects.
