Shapes...

Ms. Hume presented a few lessons on shapes. First we explored 2-D shapes like triangles, quadrilaterals, equilaterals, hexagons, pentagons, and many more. We played a bingo game to review each shape. Today we moved to 3-D shapes. These shapes are not flat, like 2-D. They really "pop" out. They have length, width, and depth!

We talked about some good ways of remembering shapes and then we made a few ourselves using spice drops, toothpicks and some soapy water. We will remember that the spice drops are the vertices, the toothpicks the edges, and we made faces using the soapy water.
