Slide, stack and roll - 3D shapes

Have you ever built a tower out of marbles? Haha of course not, they don't stack on top of each other! Join us in this lesson to find out about 3D shape attributes. In this video, students learn which shapes can slide, stack, or roll and which attributes are necessary for each action. Don't let that tricky cone fool you though, it does a little bit of everything!

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.5

Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.B.6

Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, "Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?"
