Shapes shapes shapes! We have been loving this geometry unit in math. This week we played shape headbandz practicing giving our friends clues about 2D shape attributes (for example: this shape has 4 sides and 4 corners all the sides are equal) We introduced 3D shapes this week and next week we will really delve into their attributes talking about their sides, vertices/corners, and faces. Today we enjoyed shape BINGO to review our 2D and 3D shapes. How you can help at home: Ask your child about the shapes they see in the world around them. Try going on a shape scavenger hunt at home! Challenge your student to draw a picture using only shapes Play this shapes game from Starfall Please also continue to practice counting and writing numbers with your student! Standards: MGSEK.G.1. Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to. MGSEK.G.2. Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size. MGSEK.G.3. Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”). Analyze, compare, create, and compose shapes. MGSEK.G.4. Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). MGSEK.G.5. Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes. MGSEK.G.6. Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. For example, “Can you join these two triangles with full sides touching to make a rectangle?” Classify objects and count the number of objects in each category. MGSEK.MD.3. Classify objects into given categories; count the numbers of objects in each category and sort the categories by count Mrs. Yancy came in and talked about Chinese New Year. We learned that 2020 is the year of the rat. The students in our class discovered that they were either born in the year of the snake or the year of the horse. The students made Chinese New Year lanterns.
