Guess My Geometry Shape! 2) Students will take a picture of the required angles, lines, 2D and 3D shapes and upload on Edmodo 3) Next they will add a caption of "Guess My Shape?" 4) Peers will respond to image of what they think the geometric shape is using vocabulary 5) An extension could be relating this image/shape to a similar landmark/image they are familiar with 6) An additional extension: Students create a poem/riddle/ clues to a specific shape by giving hints of attributes of their given shape. || 8) **Geometry and spatial reasoning**. The student identifies and describes attributes of geometric figures using formal geometric language. The student is expected to: (B) identify and describe parallel and intersecting (including perpendicular) lines using concrete objects and pictorial models. 8) **Geometry and spatial reasoning**. The student identifies and describes attributes of geometric figures using formal geometric language. The student is expected to: (C) use essential attributes to define **two**- and three-**dimensional geometric figures**. ||

 * Reflections:** || My students loved learning about 3D shapes. The students posted on Edmodo a 3D shape real life example they had most recently used. They were required to state its edges, faces, vertices and identify the 3D shape. In addition, they were asked to take pictures of real life 3D shapes around the classroom, post the image on Edmodo and discuss their faces, edges, vertices, etc. However we found that the iPad would not allow the students to upload their images, so the students could not post the pictures. However, I have found that the kids have enjoyed locating more images of 3D shapes at home and posting them on their own stating their characeristics. I have had to rediscuss approriate posting but the kids have really enjoyed this lesson. ||
