In this one-time class, we will name and build 5 different 3-dimensional shapes (triangular pyramid, square pyramid, cube, rectangular prism and triangular prism). While building, we will talk about the number and shape of the faces, as well as the number or edges and vertices. Students will complete a chart to help them keep track of our work. As time permits, students will ask questions of each other about the shapes like word puzzles (I have 6 square faces. What shapes am I?) Students will need marshmallows and toothpicks for this class. Students do not need to be able to print. A simple chart can be hand written instead of printed.

Teacher expertise and credentials
As of March 2022, I am taking a short break from teaching on Outschool. We have recently become a foster family and are working hard to welcome a new child to our family. I thank you for your understanding during this time.
Ever since high school, I knew I wanted to be a teacher. Fast forward four years of college and I got a job teaching third grade in Baltimore City, MD. That was the hardest year of my life, but it made me such a better teacher. I taught two years in Baltimore before moving to be near my family in Tennessee. After another eight years teaching, I decided to stay home when we had our twins (three kids in all).
I love my job as mom, but I miss the classroom and teaching children. I am excited to teach some academic courses, similar to lessons I would have taught in school. But I’m also looking forward to teaching some of the things I’ve been able to share with my kids at home: cooking, art, and sewing.
I hope to meet you in the classroom!Reviews
