Geometry





We have started our new math investigations unit this week called "Quilt Squares and Block Towns". This unit deals with studying 2-D and 3-D geometry. Geometry at the first grade level involves studying shapes and the way they are are related. So far this week we have learned the names and shapes of: a square, hexagon, trapezoid, rhombus, and triangle.
Over the past couple days, we have been taking these shapes and using them to fill in an outline. Here are some pictures of us a work. See all of the different combinations of shapes we came up with to fill our outlines today!
