3-D Shapes

Update Image

This WebQuest was created to support Kindergarten classroom learning about  3-D shapes. It was designed to be used independently or with a partner during center time. This WebQuest is simplistic enough that students can complete the tasks during center time at their own pace.  This WebQuest reaches all types of diverse learners through the use of  partners, computers, scaffolding of lessons/games, and use of multiple learning styles (visual, tactile, kinesthetic). "3-D Shapes" achieves learning through the process of phases: Phase 1 - Learning about shapes, Phase 2 - Practicing new knowledge, and Phase 3 - Producing evidence of learning.

Standards

This WebQuest addresses the following Georgia Standards of Excellence: MGSEK.G.2 Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
MGSEK.G.3 Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, flat) or three-dimensional (solid). MGSEK.G. 4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/corners) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). MGSEK.G. 5 Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
MGSEK.G. 6 Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example: Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?
