Exploring 2D and 3D Shapes
Learning Objectives:
Understand the difference between 2D and 3D shapes.
Identify and name common 2D and 3D shapes.
Recognize how 2D shapes combine to create 3D shapes.
Develop teamwork and spatial reasoning skills.
1.G.A.2
Geometry
Students physically combine 2D Superspace panels to form composite 3D shapes, such as cubes, pyramids, and prisms, developing understanding through hands-on construction.

3.G.A.1
Geometry
Students compare component 2D shapes (e.g., squares, rectangles, triangles) used in different 3D builds, recognizing shared attributes and how they relate to larger geometric categories.

K.G.A.3
Geometry
The lesson begins with a discussion and demonstration using Superspace panels to differentiate between flat 2D panels and constructed 3D models, reinforcing the distinction.

2.G.A.1
Geometry
As students create 3D shapes from 2D panels, they describe and compare shapes based on attributes like number of faces and shape types, reinforcing geometry vocabulary and classification.

K.G.B.4
Geometry
Students build and compare various 3D shapes using panels and identify how 2D shapes form the faces of 3D figures, promoting shape analysis and comparison.
