2-D and 3-D Geometry

The K mathematicians have begun a new unit of study; geometry! We look at shapes in our world, put shapes together, and define shapes. The children wrote a book about shapes in which each page began-"a __________is a ___________until you add___________and then it's a _______________.  Some of the shape pictures were buses, trains, houses, and maps. We have discovered that there are many ways to make a hexagon, or to fill in a pattern shape puzzle, and are practicing our recording skills. We have been working on a "shape mural" which depicts a circus- the children glue shape cut outs together to make the different characters in the circus.

Until Next Time,
