Geometric Solids
Lesson Plan
Above are sites that found on Illuminations. This is a site created by the National Council for Teachers of Mathematics. The first link is a small activity that allows students to explore different properties of geometric solids. This addresses the fact that students who need to explore and examine things in a visual sense can do so freely. This activity provides a visual representation for students who need to see a picture.
The second site is a link to an actual lesson plan I can use when teaching solids to students. Since the lessons were designed for middle school students, I would modify them to reach high school students. I would require the students to do more explaining and real world connections as they learn the different properties of each solid.
This activity addresses new literacies because it engages students and reaches the needs of the visual and independent learners. There are also graphic organizers provided to help students who need to organize information. The fact that students are required to read and write using online tools will help promote the digital literacies.
