2-d and 3-d Geometry

Spatial Sense: Spatial sense involves visualization, mental imagery and spatial reasoning. These skills are central to the understanding of mathematics. Spatial sense is developed through a variety of experiences and interactions within the environment. The development of spatial sense enables students to solve problems involving 3-D objects and 2-D shapes and to interpret and reflect on the physical environment and its 3-D or 2-D representations.

Outcomes:

General Outcome Describe the characteristics of 3-D objects and 2-D shapes, and analyze the relationships among them.

5. Describe and provide examples of edges and faces of 3-D objects, and sides of 2-D shapes that are: • parallel • intersecting • perpendicular • vertical • horizontal. [C, CN, R, T, V] 6. Identify and sort quadrilaterals, including: • rectangles • squares • trapezoids • parallelograms • rhombuses (or rhombi) according to their attributes. [C, R, V]

My lesson is based on this lesson [] However mine involves the students going around their home or neighbourhood taking pictures of objects, structures etc with the components of 2d and 3d objects. Paralell lines, intersecting lines, rectangles, suqares, trapezoids. various 3d shapes. Take these photos and insert them into some sort of storyboard/presentation using a computer program to present to the class.
