Learning Reflection Chapter 9
Polygons and Polyhedron
For this lesson I have created four activities:
« Three for kindergarten
« One for third-forth grade
« Kindergarten
« In the front of the room I will have the actual objects
(The ones that are in color on the left)
« A box
« A basketball
« An ice cream cone
« A soda can
« On the left side of the paper there are the mathematical names for the real life objects that are in the front of the room.
« Students will cut out the shapes and place them in the correct cans at the front of the room in front of the object.
« Kindergarten
« This one has two pages to it.
« The students will color the triangles on page 2 and cut them out
« They will find out how the triangles fit on the large triangle on page one
« Eight triangles fit in the large triangle
« Kindergarten
« This one uses manipulatives.
« Materials needed are the manipulative shapes:
« Triangles
« Rhombi
« Trapezoids
« Students are to create as many ways to cover each triangle using the different shapes provided.
« Third-
« Materials
« Playing grid
« Two different colored pens, markers, or pencils
« First player colors in any single small triangle of the playing grid.
« Second player then colors in any other small triangle of the grid.
« Players then alternate turns coloring in small triangles and may play anywhere on the grid.
« The game ends when the grid is completely colored.
