I am a 3D square. I have 6 faces and usually am the shape of dice and ice but not rice. What shape am I?
Cube

How are a rectangle and a square the same? How are they different? Give me a reason for each.
Possible answers:
Same: Both are quadrilaterals, both have 4 sides, both have 4 corners
Different: rectangles do not have 4 equal sides, a rectangle can be longer than a square, a square has sides that are all the same length.

How do we classify (name) shapes if we do not know what they are?
Count their sides

Divide this rectangle into thirds two different ways.
Horizontal thirds and vertical thirds

BONUS: Where are we going for our field trip in May?
Longwood Gardens.

Rectangle

I have a square base and 4 triangular faces. I am famous in Egypt. What shape am I? (Be specific).
A square pyramid.
400
Are these shapes polygons? Why or why not?
No, they are not polygons because they are open shapes. Polygons need to connect and close.
400
Which shapes have 1/3 shaded? How do you know?
The trapezoid, the square, and the parallelogram. They are each equally divided into 3 pieces and each shape only has one piece colored in.
400
What is the base of a 3D shape?
The face/flat part that the shape sits on. For example, a square pyramid's base is the square it sits on.
500
I am a quadrilateral with 1 short side, 1 long side, and two diagonal sides. I look like a triangle with the point cut off. What shape am I?
Trapezoid

I have one circular base and I end in a point. People use me all the time to hold a sweet treat. What shape am I?

Mrs. Largin made a cake. She wants to share it equally with you. Would you get a bigger piece if she cuts the cake in halves, thirds, or fourths? Why?
You would get a bigger piece if Mrs. Largin cut the cake in halves because the fewer pieces the cake is split into, the bigger the pieces are.
The bigger the denominator (bottom number of the fraction), the smaller the pieces.

What does it mean to partition something?
Partitioning means splitting in half or in EQUAL pieces.
