Introduction

Shapes, shapes, everywhere! Come on a journey and explore the wonderful world of shapes! In this Webquest, students will learn all about shapes in their everyday life. `

Task

1. The studets will watch the video, define what a 2D shape is and answer questions relating to the video.

2. Students will draw 2D shapes in the air.

3. Students will apply their understanding of 2D shapes by obersering objects in the classroom and keeping a tally of those 2D shapes found in their envorment.

Process

Lets Get Learning!

1. Listen and watch the video on 2D shapes. Using shapes the students are given, lift up shapes as questions are asked to check for understanding. [video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OEbRDtCAFdU

4. Students will play a game on the website that tell them match the different shapes (website) http://more2.starfall.com/m/math/geometry-content/play.htm?f&d=demo&n=enviro-shapes&y=1
