Week 4:
Monday 7th August
Learning Intention: We are learning to identify polygons and 2D shapes.
Success Criteria: I can explain what a polygon is and give examples of 2D shapes.

Tuesday 8th August
Learning Intention: We are learning to identify polygons and 2D shapes.
Success Criteria: I can explain what a polygon is and give examples of 2D shapes.
Make a "Shape" book in Book Creator, or a Shape folder in Google Drive to collect photos of your work.
At the end of the unit this will be uploaded to your Weebly, and will be something you share with your parents in your Student-Led Interviews.
In pairs: Polygon Sort
Finished? Tangram Polygons Puzzle
Wednesday 9th August
Learning Intention: We are learning to identify 3D shapes and their properties.
Success Criteria: I can name some 3D shapes and describe their properties (how many faces, edges & vertices). I can also explain the difference between prisms and pyramids.
Whole class: Read through these posters together and discuss:
Warm up: 3D shape memory. Display on the board and play as a whole class, then you can play with a partner, using one iPad between the two of you. Partners:
Mackenzie & Tom
Grace & Curtis
Jack & Farhana
Nakita & Ellenor
Grace & Busa
Kya & Erika & Maddie
Maddie & Jayden
Brock & Molly
Grady & Alyssa
Kirsten & Suzhanna
Tahlia & Logan
Lachlan & Ashlee
Ryan & Abigail
Independent Task:
Choose a 3D shape from below, and make it using any of the materials provided.
After making each shape, take a photo of it and add to your Shape book in Book Creator. (Oh - we forgot to make these yesterday! Quickly make one now to save your work in. OR: make a shape folder in Google Drive instead.)
Next to your photo of your shape you need to name it, and describe its properties (number of faces, edges and vertices). Try to do this without copying from the picture below! You can use the picture to check if you were correct when you're finished.
(If you choose an easy one first, make sure you choose some slightly more challenging ones as well!)

Thursday 10th August
Learning Intention: We are learning to identify the nets of 3D shapes.
Success Criteria: I can construct prisms and pyramids from their nets, and describe their properties.
Warm up: Shape Game
Whole class: introduction to nets
Whole class: introduction to nets
Use the connectable shapes to create a net and 3D shape. In your shape book, create a table like this one to show your understanding.
Monday 14th August: Finishing Off & Revision
1. Finish yesterday's task - make four shapes, at least one pyramid and one prism.
2. Revise what we have learnt about 2D and 3D shapes.
Regular Shapes: 2368
3D shapes:
3D Objects: 2276
Faces, Edges and Corners: 2278 (Remember: We call corners vertices)
Prisms and Pyramids: 2434
Nets of prisms: 2386
Nets of pyramids: 2388
Nets of Solid Shapes: 3294
