Space


 * Space in an area of learning where students can easily get confused especially when it comes to shapes. There are lots of names and characteristics for students to remember so by giving them some hands on interactive opportunities it will encourage their learning. Below is one idea of how you could do this: **
 * media type="youtube" key="0fHW2kLAMJM" height="218" width="288" If you wanted to make your own video for the class like I have done above it is actually really easy. My computer has a program on it called 'Photo Booth' (if you have a MAC yours should to) which I used to record myself. I then saved the video as a movie file and uploaded it onto Youtube, so I could embed it into this Wiki. If you have access to a SmartBoard you do not have to upload your video onto Youtube, because you can connect your PC up and play the recorded movie from there. If you are not sure if you have a video program on your PC click here for a lesson on how to download one.**
 * If making a video is not for you then I have also included an interactive website that relate to this topic below:**
 * Shape Lab- This site helps students to identify the names shapes and the different features of shapes. It has three levels, medium, hard and really hard so if students find the first level easy they can move up a level. The harder levels also recap fractions and looks at symmetry which is part of the VELS for this level. **
