Geometric Solids Everyday Math Lesson 11.1
Lesson Objectives I can compare and classify geometric solids. I can describe and classify polyhedrons according to their faces.

Math Message ( 3 minutes) Name an object that is shaped like a geometric solid. I will hand out post-it notes to the students when they enter the classroom to use during the math message.
Math Message Follow-Up There are 5 different types of geometric solids. *Prisms *Pyramids *Cylinders *Cones *Spheres Geometric Figures are described by their surfaces, edges and vertices.
At least 1 of their surfaces in NOT flat! Geometric Solids Look at pg. 149 in the SRB. Are all geometric solids also polyhedrons? Why? Cone Cylinder Sphere At least 1 of their surfaces in NOT flat!
Let’s Investigate! * Describe a regular polyhedron. Geometric solids with faces that are all the same size and shape. 6 sided dice are considered fair because there is an equal chance of any one of the 6 landing on top when the dice is thrown. Is rolling a polyhedron dice fair???
