Lesson Length: 15 minutes or less
Keywords/Tags: Shapes, 2D, 3D
Lesson Description: In this lesson, students will learn to identify 2D shapes and 3D shapes by their attributes. Students will learn that 2D shapes are flat, and 3D shapes are solid, and be able to sort them accordingly.

  • Other MGSEK.G.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
  • MA.K.GR.1.1 Identify two- and three-dimensional figures regardless of their size or orientation. Figures are limited to circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders.
  • MA.K.GR.1.4 Find real-world objects that can be modeled by a given two- or three-dimensional figure. Figures are limited to circles, triangles, rectangles, squares, spheres, cubes, cones and cylinders.
