How do live lessons work?
Live lessons are interactive slides and course outlines that are used to teach Treeway Live Classes. Click on the arrows to navigate backward and forwards through the slides.
How Do I Use the Lesson Plans?
Read this lesson plan before class to familiarize yourself with the ideas and concepts you’ll be teaching the students. You may print this page out if you need to use it as a reference point during live classes.
This lesson is a guide, but feel free to expand on the content or decrease/increase what you teach depending on the learning levels of the students in your class or the amount of time you have to cover the material.
Can I show videos in live classes?
Yes, feel free to include additional material to supplement the class lesson material. Videos, Physical Objects, Games, Activities, etc. are okay to share in live classes.
Videos should have no advertisements or logos and should be viewed by you before showing them to the students to ensure no offensive or questionable content is included.
The video should make up only a small portion of the live class.
How do bookmarks work?
Bookmarks help you keep track of lessons you’re going to teach in future live classes. The bookmarks you see are for all your bookmarked lessons across all grades.
You can bookmark a lesson by visiting the lesson you want to bookmark and clicking the “bookmark” button in the bookmark section.
You can remove a single bookmark by visiting a lesson you’ve bookmarked and clicking the “bookmark” button again to unbookmark it.
You can clear all of your bookmarks by clicking the “clear all bookmarks” button. Be careful, this will erase all of your bookmarks.

Class Summary
Reinforcing the math lesson that teaches students to recognize 3D shapes and learning their names and physical attributes by exploring real objects. Students should leave the class feeling comfortable with the concept of capacity & how objects, shapes or various containers have different capacities. Students will learn to compare the capacities of different containers based on the container’s attributes or based on what is inside.
Lesson Slide
Main Teaching Points
- Show: A cube, sphere, cylinder, cone, and/or a pyramid.
- Explain: The surface of a shape is called the face.
- Show: A picture of the face of a shape.
- Explain: The edge is where two faces meet together.
- Show: A picture showing the edge of a shape.

- What are some things that look like a cylinder? A cube? A sphere?
- What are some shapes that can hold liquid?
- What are some containers that can hold things inside?
- What kinds of things can you put in a cup?
In-Class Activities
- Playdough Play: Tell parents in the description to help students prepare for the class by bringing play dough. the students pull out their playdough and practice making 3D shapes with you.
- Make a 2D to 3D hand balloon: To explain the concept of a 3d shape vs a 2d shape, use this visual illustration: Put your hands together like you have a circle pancake in between. Then hold your hands up to your mouth and blow air into the circle slowly curling your fingers as you blow. Turn the flat circle of your hands into a sphere formed with your hands. The flat circle now has become a solid sphere like a balloon. This makes it 3d.
