![]() This week in math we started a new unit focusing on two-Dimensional shapes. Students are learning to name the shapes and describe their properties using the vocabulary "sides" and "vertices". We did several hands on activities with the students exploring the shapes, building them and finding them in and around the environment using technology (iPad) to record their findings. It is important to use the correct mathematical language when describing shapes attributes. Children may say "corner" ,but encourage them to use "vertex" or vertices" when referring to a corner. With practice these words will become terms children use regularly when describing shapes. Check out this free interactive game online your child can play:
