Solid Figures & Shapes

In our 3rd‑grade math adventure, students will explore the exciting world of 3D shapes through hands‑on creativity and playful discovery. We will build real models using colorful playdough and toothpicks. Each creation becomes a mini‑sculpture that helps students see how shapes connect, stretch, and stand tall. As they build structures, they’ll strengthen their reasoning skills and feel like young architects bringing math to life through art and imagination.

Materials Needed:

Paper

Pencil

Playdough or modeling clay

Sticks, straws or toothpicks
