the same point, like a party hat!
These are all three-dimensional shapes.
They all have a base and take up space.
Pyramids are what the ancient Egyptians made;
the Mayans and the Aztecs did the same.
They’re made with a polygon at the base
and triangular faces that meet in one place.
Some prisms are rectangular like a room.
Some prisms are triangular like a roof.
Polygons with edges joining at the vertices
make a prism, as you can see!
These are all three-dimensional shapes.
They all have a base and take up space.
There’s one special three-dimensional shape.
They’re called spheres, like the planets in outer space.
On spheres, there’s no base to be found,
because every sphere is perfectly round!

LESSON PLAN
OBJECTIVE: Students will be able to classify three-dimensional shapes by their
properties.
MATERIALS: pencils, copies of lesson materials
DURATION: fifty to fifty-five minutes
1. Direct Instruction: Pass out the lyric sheets for students who want to read
along with the song, and play the music video on the TV or SMART Board. (5
minutes)
2. Think-Pair-Share: Collect the lyric sheets, and have the students complete the
cloze from memory, checking their answers in pairs and correcting their clozes.
Have the pairs share their findings with the class. Play the video a second time
for students as they follow along with their completed cloze. (10 minutes)
3. Class Discussion: Present the anchor chart on the smartboard or overhead
projector, and have a short class discussion reviewing the content. (5 minutes)
4. Guided Practice: Model solving the first two problems on the chalk board/
overhead/SMART board. (5 minutes)
5. Independent Practice: Have the students finish the rest of the first page of
the worksheet independently. During this time, walk around the class to help
struggling students. (5-10 minutes)
6. Group Work: Place students in groups of three or four in the order that
they finish the worksheet. Have the groups complete the second side of the
worksheet. Differentiation: Hand out the drills sheet for early finishers. (15
minutes)
7. Assessment and Follow-Up: Pass out the exit slip and have the students
complete them individually. Use the results from the exit slip for small group
instruction as time allows. (5 minutes)
8. Homework: Drills page (if not previously completed) and homework page.
EXTENSION ACTIVITY: Play Slide & Climb
