Today in math we began our new unit on shapes. Today we read a book called "The Shape of Things" and learned the vocabulary terms shape, side, and vertices (corner). We learned at all shapes have sides but not all have vertices. We were able to identify many of our 2D shapes while reading the book and concluded the lesson with a shape hunt in our room.
The children loved this introductory lesson and were intrigued by some new learning. Did you know that squares are part of the rectangle family and that a diamond is known as a rhombus in kindergarten....
well, we do now!
