Slide, Roll and Stack 3-Column Sorting Activity Small solid figures are available on Amazon Solid Figure Tracing to Determine Shapes on Flat Sides Here’s a peek at just a few of the activities included: Purchase my Solid Figures Unit for Grades K-1-2 from Teachers Pay Teachers Roll, stack, and slide solid figure sorts It’s appropriate for Grades K-2 and is differentiated to accommodate students with varied ability levels. I also created a Solid Figure unit plan to use with my students. These materials were added to my classroom math center for independent exploration by students.
I use a variety of solid figure manipulatives (scroll down for product information) as well as photos of real-world objects for each in my classroom. It was an excellent higher-thinking activity. My students predicted what the figure would like when opened (what shapes they thought they would see, and how many of each kind). you can’t tell from the photo, but the inner pieces are also quite durable. Inside there is a flexible plastic representation that unfolds to reveal the shapes on each surface of the figure. Each figure is represented in a sturdy clear plastic shell that opens up. It was a little pricey, but they are SO worth it. I truly cannot say enough good things about this set. They’re very sturdy and are certainly helpful for illustrating the solid figures, but this year I acquired some new math manipulatives and they are fantastic! This one set is particularly fantastic: When teaching this unit in the past, I always used the traditional wooden solid figure shapes.

We began the unit of study by creating a chart of the six basic solid figures (cone, sphere, cube, pyramid, cylinder, and rectangular prism.) We discussed the shapes we see on the side of each figure, and listed examples real-world objects for each 3-D figure. My students have been learning about solid figures and using some really great resources in the classroom.
