Common Core State Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.1
Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to.
Common Core State Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
Common Core State Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.3
Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).
Objective
- View a 360° video and correctly describe the orientation and shape of objects in the video.
Recommended Teaching Strategy
Example 360° Learning Experience
Show the video to the whole class, navigating through it so students can process the entire scene. Zoom in on details, asking students about the shapes they see. For example, zoom in on a scarecrow’s face to show the flat facial features.
While zooming in, ask students questions regarding orientation, size, color, and their positions relative to other objects in the scene. End the discussion by distinguishing the difference between “flat” (2D) and “solid” (3D) shapes.
Students should record their observations in their math journals, using arrows or words to describe where different shapes are positioned in the video. They should also note the dimensionality of the shapes and objects they draw.
