Squares, Triangles and Circles Oh My!

As a teacher, shapes can be difficult at times to teach. The majority of the class can name most of their shapes and draw the shape with little to no assistance. However, being able to name the sides and vertices is not always as easy...and that is where the fun comes in :)! 
We spent the past two weeks learning all about circles, squares, rectangles, triangles and hexagons. We focused on mastering the many different attributes of each shape and all the different places outside our classroom that we see these shapes.



We prefer our pizza cut in triangles ;).


They really enjoyed creating their hexagon dinosaurs, with a little help from "Heidi Songs".


Here is the inspiration for our dinosaur project:


Check out our cute, little square MONSTERS!


Next week we will start our numbers 1-10 unit. We will work on learning how to write the numbers, as well as learning how to subitize and decompose a number.
