Identify 3-D Shapes in Everyday Objects

Look around you — shapes are everywhere! In this Kindergarten Math skill, children explore 3-D figures like cubes, spheres, cylinders, and cones. Learners discover how everyday items — like a rolling basketball, a tall canned drink, a wooden alphabet block, or a festive party hat — match geometric solids. Through colorful visuals and warm voiceovers, children build spatial awareness and learn to tell flat 2-D shapes apart from solid 3-D objects.

• K.G.A.3 — Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, "flat") or three-dimensional ("solid").
• K.G.B.4 — Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/"corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).
• K.G.B.5 — Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.
