Lesson Plan: Vertices of 3D Shapes Mathematics • 1st Grade
This lesson plan includes the objectives, prerequisites, and exclusions of the lesson teaching students how to identify and count the vertices of 3D shapes and classify shapes by the number of vertices.
Objectives
Students will be able to
- describe the number of vertices in common 3D shapes,
- sort and classify shapes based on the number of vertices,
- construct 3D shapes from everyday objects.
Prerequisites
Students should already be familiar with
- identifying common 3D shapes.
Exclusions
Students will not cover
- faces or edges of 3D shapes.
