Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.

What children learn in Level 50

Solid shapes aren't flat. You can hold them! Here are five: a cube, a rectangular prism, a cone, a cylinder, and a sphere.
A cube is like a number cube: 6 flat square faces. A rectangular prism is like a cereal box: its faces are rectangles.
A cone is like an ice cream cone: a circle at one end and a point at the other. A cylinder is like a soup can: a circle at each end.
A sphere is round all over, like a ball. Spheres, cylinders, and cones can roll. Cubes and boxes slide instead.
Try it with a grown-up! Find a can, a box, and a ball at home. Which ones roll?
