3D Figures

This video explores how young students develop understanding of three-dimensional figures by handling, describing, and interacting with them. It emphasizes using real-world connections and multiple modalities, such as tracing, speaking, and labeling, to help students name and describe figures like cubes, cones, and cylinders. The video also highlights the importance of exposing students to three-dimensional figures in a variety of sizes, colors, and orientations to prevent misconceptions.
