"I Love Math" is a common sound in our room this week! We have been talking a lot about geometry, flat shapes, space shapes, open & closed figures, congruent shapes, and connecting shapes! Who wouldn't love playing with shapes and making some great discoveries!! We have really learned some big words this week! The kids keep saying that sounds like another word to add to the "word collector"! We have used flat shapes: square, rectangle, circle, triangle, pentagon, hexagon, rhombus, and parallelogram. We have counted the sides and corners (vertices). We have used space shapes: sphere, cone, cube, cylinder, rectangular prism. With these we counted faces, curves, and corners. Then we found shapes that were an exact match: same size and same shape (congruent). Today, it was fun to put it all together, and connect the shapes to make a picture - we had some awesome creations!! I wish I would have remembered to bring my camera today to take a picture!
There is a section on IXL.com on geometry. The kids should be able to do some of that :)
