After experimenting with a shape that doesn't roll, they will investigate the problem and collaborate with others which shape does roll.
Reasoning and Proving
Asking the children, "What do you think will happen once you use the square?" They may be able to recognize that shapes with a flat surface slide, rather than roll.
Reflecting
Teachers will model the reflection by asking questions such as, "What would happen if you use a different side of that shape?" This will clarify their understanding and explain if they have solved the problem.
Selecting Tools and Strategies
The cylinder will be an interesting shape to observe if the child notices that it rolls and slides. This will determine the understanding of the purpose.
Connecting
Math is everywhere around us! From this activity, children may build and make the representation of structures around our everyday lives. If a child describes the playground setting, they will be able to make the connection that the playground has many shapes as well.

Representing
Children may make a Venn Diagram, shown in the picture below, where they can see their representation ideas.

Communication
Once this activity is complete, the children may communicate their understanding and express their knowledge through dramatization. Children may work in teams to build shapes using their bodies.
