In this Webquest, students will learn all about shapes in their everyday life.

Task

To help you along your journey, you must complete these tasks: 

1. watch videos on shapes

2. understand what a 2D shape is

3. answer questions relating to the videos.

2. draw 2D shapes in the air.

3. apply your understanding of 2D shapes by observing objects in the classroom

4. keep a tally of 2D shapes found in your envorment.

Process

Lets Get Learning!

1. Listen and watch this video on 2D shapes. Using shapes the you are given in class, lift up shapes as questions are asked to check for  understanding.

     a. Which shape can roll?

     b. Which shape has three sides?

     c. Which shape had 4 equal sides?

     d. What shape has 2 longs sides and 2 short sides?

2. Observe the video and draw the shapes in the air.

     a. What is the difference between the oval and the circle?

     b. Which shape has only has one line? 

     c. What has no straight lines? 

3. play a game to identify the shape? 

     a. What shape is the baseball?

     b. What shape is the pizza?

     c. What shape is the dice?

     d. What shape is the pillow?

 3. Apply your understanding of 2D shapes by going around the room with a partner looking for 2D shapes in the classroom and tally what shapes they find.

4. Go out into the world and observe the shapes around you. Write down what shapes you see and how many shapes you see. Click on the picture below to see examples of shapes to look out for!
