Learning About Shapes

One of the Common Core Standards the kids need to know are 2D and 3D shapes.  We learned about cylinders, spheres, rectangular prisms, cubes, pyramids and triangular prisms.  When the kids knew and could identify all of the different shapes we played "Eat Our Math".  Miss Melanie found a candy that represented each of the 3D shapes.  The kids could only eat one at school and were suppose to bring the rest home to show their parents that they could identify the shapes.  It was a fun way to test their knowledge.
