1. 3D Shape Vocabulary – Versus
In this competitive activity, students compare the values of attributes on cards.
The challenger decides an attribute and chooses highest or lowest to win.
This activity can be completed as a whole class (one card each), within groups (2+),
or with the teacher playing versus the entire class (with one card each).
As a whole class, one half of the students can stay in their seats
(with a mini-whiteboard and/or calculator).
