7.1 Attribute Rules Objective: To reinforce sorting attribute blocks according to the attribute rules. Key Vocabulary: triangle, square, rectangle, hexagon circle, attribute

We will follow these instructions with the attribute blocks: 1. Children who have a circle, stand where the teacher says. 2. Children who have a triangle, stand where directed. 3. Children who have a rectangle, stand where directed. 4. Children who have a square, stand where directed. 5. Children who remain, what shape do you have? In each group: What do the blocks have in common? Are they all the same color in each group? Are they all the same size? Listen to your teacher's directions for more sorts. TG 623

Attributes of these blocks: shape color size Music has attributes such as loud, soft, high, and low. Stand up if your attribute block is: a red square not yellow a small rectangle a large circle a small, blue hexagon not red and not large

We will collect the attribute blocks according to attributes. large, red blocks small, blue blocks rectangular, yellow blocks all yellow circles Students, what are your ideas about collecting the blocks?

Exploration A Playing the Attribute Train Game Directions: 1. The blocks are placed in the center of the playing surface. 2. The first player takes a block and puts it down to start a train. 3. The second player chooses a block that is different in only one way from the first block. 4. Players continue taking turns until no more blocks can be played. Exploration B Making Attribute-Block Designs Teaching Masters: Page 197 Page 198 Use these words to describe your design: above below next to in front of behind If time, rearrange your blocks to form a new design. Use only the blocks you used in the first design. Exploration C Using a Fact Platter Fact Generator Work in partnerships One partner writes the fact generator in the center of the platter. The other partner writes the sums around the edge of the Fact Platter. Take turns as you make more Fact Platters. Challenge: Write a two-digit number in the center of the Fact Platter.

Constructing Straw Polygons What do we know about polygons, so far? The sides of the polygon are all straight. Polygons have corners, where two sides meet. Sides meet only at their ends. The sides are connected---there aren't any gaps. After making polygons, tell how each shape is alike and different. new words: concave polygons, open figures, closed figures
