The slide show shows a real world photo of each type of solid figure that I have to teach students about in fourth grade. I think using the real photos takes the standards outside of the classroom and shows them how they will apply the knowledge. As we are going through the slide show, I could talk with my students about the characteristics of each figure to introduce them to the concepts. I could also use a slide show to assess my student's understanding of each figure (I would take away the captions for that).
I used the website http://www.slide.com/ to create my slideshow, and I have learned that I definitely need more experience using the site. I was a little frustrated that I couldn't get the end product that I was thinking of in my head (hence the "sort of" in the title of this post). With a little time and practice, I'm sure I will be a pro in no time.

This is a great slide show and one that is perfect for teaching solid shapes. In fact, I think my first graders would love seeing it and could definitely benefit from it. We've taught this already this year, so it would be a good review.
ReplyDeleteNot sure what you were going for, but there's no need for the "sort of" since we didn't know what your vision was. This turned out great!
Wow!! what a great slide show... with really great pictures! I felt like mine was lame because i couldn't come up with a good theme for it! nicely done!
