Exploring Geometric Shapes in JSK3 - Mr. DeLuca's Class

One of the areas that we have been exploring in math is geometric shapes. Students are learning that our world is filled with shapes in the natural and human built environment. Enjoy a peek into our learning about 2D Shapes!
Students explored the relationship of 3D & 2D shapes.
The sides of  3D shapes are made up of  2D shapes.

"Guess which shape we made?"
"It has four straight sides."

Geoboards are fun to explore shapes with as well!

"A house!"

Making pictures from pattern blocks.
We learned that when we put shapes together we can build new shapes.

Flowers...

More flowers...

We worked on a "Shape City".

Students guessed the shape that was made on each others back.
"I counted the points..."

Can you guess how many hexagons we made with pattern blocks?
"I used 6 triangles to make it!"

Congruent hexagons!
