Workshop 2

Naming, Describing, and Drawing Two- and Three-Dimensional Figures

Introducing two- and three-dimensional figures by drawing, tracing, building on a geoboard, and making figures with popsicle sticks is the type of geometry students want to get their hands on!  A student dictionary provides the vocabulary for learning the attributes of geometric figures; the workbook, is filled with student activities for learning geometry.  You will absolutely enjoy this workshop!

Concepts taught at this workshop are mapped to student expectations from Principles and Standards for School Mathematics, 2000, page 396.

Students will:

• know and understand the meaning of the words two dimensional and three dimensional;
• recognize, name, build, and draw the representation of two- and three-dimensional figures;
• know and name the attributes of and the relationships between two- and three-dimensional figures;
• recognize geometric shapes and structures in their environment and specify their locations.
