On this sheet
- Try to roll, stack and slide each solid. What do you notice? — answer: The child tries rolling, stacking and sliding with each of the three real solids, describes what happens and relates it to a flat or curved part in everyday words or demonstrations. Record all three actions separately, including each solid, orientation, surface, result and the child’s explanation. A failed physical stack can be a successful investigation. Judge the observed trial; do not demand a rigid yes/no chart. A single action, a prediction, or an unrecorded action does not complete this skill.
