Geometry and Field Trip
Monday and Tuesday of this week we began exploring geometry concepts in math. The students were challenged to use materials to build a shape with more than four sides. I was impressed with their creativity while they were building shapes. Friends made shapes that had up to twenty-two sides. The shapes that were built led to deep conversations about what a side is, how can we count sides, and what makes a shape a shape. We will continue exploring geometry this week.
-
- Daysia was used tiles to build her shape.
-
- DeOnna’s shape had twenty-two sides!
-
- Himiko shares how she drew her shape and counted her sides in her math notebook.
-
- DeOnna and Cameron write about goggles for our science tools book!
We are going on our field trip next Tuesday! Please remember to send in the permission trip. The students are excited to see the science lab as well as do an experiment with high school friends. Our interest in science continues. Some friends have been working on pages for a book about science tools during our free choice times!
