A New Unit; Geometry!

We have begun a new unit in kindergarten math; the study of shapes both 2D and 3D. We made books about shapes by creating pictures with glue and cut out shapes and filling in the blanks: A ___________is a _______________until you add_________________and then it's a _____________________. For instance, "A rectangle is a rectangle until you add squares, circles, and a door that opens, and then it's a bus."

We continue to play with pattern blocks, but now we are thinking about the shapes that they can make and how we can record our favorites.We also work to fill in puzzle shapes with blocks. There are many solutions, which we find interesting!
Until Next Time,
Michele
