Slide 5: Students choose two solids and put their names in the box. Then students can use one box to compare similarities and the other to compare differences. Students can make copies of this slide as well and then compare 2 different solids. Slide 6: Students read the clues carefully and drag the objects to their proper place. Once the students are finished, the students print the pages. To save paper, when the students click on print there will be a Print screen that appears. In the lower left hand corner, there is a box that says Slides. If you click on the arrow next to the word slides you can choose to print the slides as handouts. This will allow you to print up to 6 slides on each page of paper.
