Big Idea/Theme: Geometry is a way to describe the physical world. Culminating Assessment Option 1: Students are grouped and given nets of seven polyhedra (rectangular prism, cube, cylinder, sphere, square and triangular pyramid, cone.) They construct their nets and create a “city” using these shapes. Then, they must write a description of their city and include the following information: Faces, vertices, edges of each shape; a top, side and frontal drawing of the shapes, and major needs of the town are included. Option 2: Students may do Option 1 individually Option 3: Design a 3-D town including the following: Characteristics of the 3-D shapes. Nets. Identify and recognize multiple views of 3-D objects (front, top, back, bottom, right side, left side). (See attachment “Polyhedraville.”) Unit Understanding(s) Students will understand that… Three dimensional shapes have unique characteristics. Objects can be described by their spatial relationships. The view of a 3D shape can be described using front, back, top, left side, and right side. A Different view of a 3D object built with cubes can be represented with squares. Nets are a 2D representation of a 3D shape. Unit Essential Question(s): What unique characteristics do 3D shapes possess? How can 3D shapes be described using their spatial relationships? How are 2D and 3D representations related? How can a different view of a 3D object built with cubes be represented with squares? How are nets a 2D representation of a 3D shape? Students will know… / Students will be able to… Identify polyhedra, cones, cylinders, and spheres. Classify polyhedral, cones, cylinders and spheres according to their attributes. Draw and describe polyhedra. Record data about polyhedral in a table. Analyze the relationships of faces, edges and vertices. Analyze and describe cones, cylinders, and spheres. Draw the front, top and side views of a three-dimensional shape built with cubes. Recognize three dimensional figures from their top, side and front views. Build models of three-dimensional shapes. Identify and build nets for a variety of three-dimensional shapes. Identify and recognize three dimensional shapes. Mentally visualize objects and spatial relationships. Identify relationships between two and three dimensional objects.

When I was in fifth grade I made a polyhedraville. I named my team "Spac4nia" and I made our logo. However, all the ***holes on the dumb butt other team called ours lame. So, the day after that, I brought some LEGO for decorations to make our "nonlame". I brought LEGO minifigures, guns, bats, bombs, and raditation. When I got out a LEGO probe I realized it could be used as another type of "probe", but the children on my team said that would be crass. So I told them how lame ours is and if we did not add that ours would be lame. Then I woke up and realized it was a dream. So I brought some LEGO to help with our project. I still remember what happened after that.
