After learning the names of the solids, we decided to play a game
where one person builds a structure and hides it. Then they try to explain
to their partner how to rebuild the very same structure. Language like next
to, to the left, to the right, stack it, under, on top, etc. was needed
to be able to describe the structure, as well as using the names
of the solids.
'...finally put a blue cube on top of each of the standing
rectangular prisms...'
'close your eyes while I build...'
'...look, there's two rectangle prisms and a square prism...'
'The cylinder is at the back behind the prisms...'
Lots of great math language being used!!
