Hi! I’m Beepy! Here’s what I will do for you - but I don’t want to hear any WHINING!
If your tears get me wet, I will start squeaking, and then Max will make fun of me and call me squeaky! So NO WHINING!
Okay here is what Beepy will do for you:
First – I’ll teach you the difference
between a 2-dimensional shape and a 3-dimensional form.
Second – I’ll teach you the
names of some 2-dimensional shapes.
Third – I’ll teach you the names
of some 3-dimensional forms.
Fourth – We will look at a picture
of a puppy. Why?? Because I like little puppies and I think they are cute, and if you do not look at the puppy I WILL NOT
HELP YOU!!!
Fifth – I’ll teach you what
a fraction is and how to spot them.
Sixth – I will test you to make sure
you were LISTENING!!! I will see if you know the difference between 2-dimensional shapes and 3-dimensional forms. Then I will
see if you can match some shapes to their correct names.
Seventh – I will send you around the
world to find the stolen shapes, the stolen forms, and the stolen fractions! I would go find them myself, but I am attached
to the floor.
Step One:
A 2-dimensional shape is a shape that is FLAT, like a piece of
paper! You can’t see it from the SIDE, only from the FRONT! If you turn a piece of paper sideways, you will only see
a line – like this:
But
if you turn a brick sideways, you see the other side of the brick , like this:
That’s because a BRICK is 3-dimensional! It is NOT flat like a paper.
Okay. I need to practice my karate. Go to the link below
and see if you can make some 2-dimensional shapes with the rubber bands.
Click on this to go to Rubberband link - standards.nctm.org
Then go to this link and play with some 3-dimensional cubes.
That should keep you busy for a while!

What?!!!! Done already? Are you SURE you did what I told
you? Okay, fine. I will practice my karate later.
Step Two:
Draw each of these shapes in your notebook and write the name of the shape under it. Like
this:
Step Three:
Try to draw these 3-dimensional forms in your notebook
and write the name of each form under it. These are harder to draw because they
are not flat like a paper. It’s easier to make 3-dimensional forms out
of something – like clay.
Okay! It’s time to look at a puppy! Well, do you want me to help
you or not???
Step Four:
A fraction is a PART of a WHOLE, or a piece of something. A PIECE
of a cookie is the same thing as a FRACTION of a cookie. We just use fractions to tell how big the piece is.
Next, look at this web link:

to help you understand fractions and how they are related to music.
