Famous soccer goals have been drawn out for you here. Using a protractor, find the angles involved in the play that lead to the goal being scored. Answers included
A fun way to introduce students to 3D shapes. They need to identify the shape, draw a picture of it, and then identify how many vertices and flat surfaces it has. Shapes on this activity and the foods I used to go with them (you can use a lot of different things as well) are:
pyramid - picture on the worksheet
cube - cheese cube
cylinder - tootsie roll
cone - bugle
sphere - whoppers (or you could do a sphere cereal)
rectangular prism- wafer
Copy each sheet on different color pages and have the students match the correct description, name, and shape. I had them put them on a poster with quadrangles as the Title and Parallelograms and Not Parallelograms as the headings for the different shapes. I used this to support Everyday Math unit 5 for second grade.
