I will take one property of a solid such as smooth and ask them to tell me which solids are smooth. Name which solids are smooth, and be ready to explain your thinking. (AM)

**Demonstrate how to play the sorting game:** I will take two solids that share a property and ask students to name the property and put them in the sorting circle. Question: Tell me the property and and explain how your solids have that property.

The class will then participate in this game with a partner.

Then as a class go through other examples or choosing 2 solids in front of the class. Ask for other examples.

**Student Response:** Choose one solid property and draw all the solids that have that property in their Science notebook.
