In this one-time grocery store math class, learners will take on the roles of the consumer and the business to learn about 3D shapes and quadrilaterals. 

At the beginning of class, the learners and teacher will have a discussion about the topic(s) of the week so the teacher can assess prior knowledge of the subject. 

In this class, learners will learn and identify 3D shapes. Learners will sort grocery store items according to the 3D shape. Next, learners will learn the attributes of a "quadrilateral". Learners will practice identifying and classifying quadrilaterals in different store logos and print ads. Lastly, learners will apply what they have learned about quadrilaterals to take on the role of a commercial artist. Learners can choose to re-create the packaging of their favorite food, create an ad for their local grocery store, or create an ad for their favorite food. Learners will be encouraged to create their ad or product using as many quadrilaterals as possible. Throughout this activity, the teacher will check-in with each individual student and review as necessary. 

All activities within this course have been aligned with National Common Core State Standards for 3rd Grade Math. 

Throughout the class, the teacher will introduce and teach the topic(s) using the “I Do, We Do, You Do” method. This instructional method starts with the teacher giving an example, followed by the teacher and learners solving a problem or completing a task together, then finally, the learners are given a problem or task to complete on their own, with support given as necessary.  

This class is best for learners ages 7 to 9 or at a 3rd grade math level. Learners do not need to know the concepts or topics of the class beforehand. We will learn and review in class. 

Materials will be displayed and used in a Google Slide presentation that is screen shared on the teacher's screen only. No other material outside the normal Outschool Zoom classroom is needed.
