problem_activity: Narrative
The purpose of this activity is for students to learn stage 1 of the Build Shapes center. Students use straws and clay to build a shape of their choice. Students check with their partner to be sure they both agree that the shapes match. The Build Shapes Cards are printed in the student book for this activity. The Build Shapes Cards blackline master is available for students to use during center activities in future lessons. Listen to how students create an argument and use or revise their language to make their argument clear to others (MP3, MP6).
After they participate in the center, students choose from any stage of previously introduced centers.
