This is a 4 day series of lessons designed to familiarize students with 3D design and computer aided design using Google SketchUp.

For this project, students create a station.. They are assigned a 3D figure (cylinder, cone, prisms, pyramids, sphere, etc). They must create a station that teaches the parts of the figure and how to find the surface area, lateral area, and volume of the figure. Then students visit each station created and have a quiz on all the stations.

Solving problems involving three-dimensional figuresMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

 I created this board game to give my 2nd grade students review of 3D shapes.  They travel through space, trying to make it back to earth.  This game supports sol 2.13, identify, describe, compare, and contrast plane and solid figures (circles/spheres, squares/cubes, and rectangles/rectangular prisms.  Before playing this game, my students completed activities using manipulatives to identify solid shapes, the number of vertices, edges, and faces, and traced the faces of the cube and rectangular prism in order to build understanding of the relationship between plane and solid figures.  My students played this game in small groups of 3-5 students.  They take turns rolling a die, jump to the number rolled, and answer the question in the box they land on.  My students love to play board games!  As a result, they are more attentive and motivated to learn.
