T.I.P.S.
-
The student must be able to identify three-dimensional figures, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms, and triangular prisms. The students must be able to see that a cube is a special rectangular prism. Students must also be able to explain and justify their mathematical ideas and arguments about these figures using formal geometric language.
Example
-
Read the statements below.a) Name these two figures and tell how they are alike and different.b) The tennis ball is a cube. Explain your thinking and your solution as why you think this is true or false.

1.6 Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:
(E) identify three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes), and triangular prisms, and describe their attributes using formal geometric language
