Our second math unit is all about shapes. Students will be:
~decomposing shapes using other shapes
~comparing and sorting shapes
~using more and less shapes to fill an outline
Students love using the word
geometry in their math conversations with crew mates.
My favorite thing about this unit is how much we collaborate as a crew. Students are using manipulatives to answer questions and create things out of pattern blocks.
Questions to ask your mathematician...
What is geometry?
How are you using geometry in your math lessons?
How are a square and rectangle different? The same?
