Blocks and Boxes: 3-D Geometry

This second geometry unit in first grade focuses on three-dimensional shapes and the relationships between them. Students observe, describe, compare, classify, represent, and build with 3-D shapes. They develop vocabulary for naming and describing 3-D shapes and explore the relationship between 2-D and 3-D shapes. In this unit, students focus on the attributes of rectangular prisms. As a final project, they use 3-D shapes to construct a town and work with directions and paths as they plan routes through the town.
