Geometry

Geometry can be so much fun! You could introduce geometry with the book The Greedy Triangle. Give each student 3 peices of straw to form the triangle, then let them form each shape as the geedy triangle visits the shape| master to become a new shape. Students can bring playdo and toothpicks to make shapes. Keep a shape journal of shapes you see- at home, at the store, from the school bus. Game- student comes to front of room and closes eyes. Teacher place shape in student's hand and the student must name the shape. I have a song about shapes but it's at school. I'll try to remember to post it tomorrow. | |
The National Conference of Teachers of Mathematics has a great website where students can actually manipulate shapes. (http://illuminations.nctm.org/index2.html Also, students can go on a shape scavenger hunt. There is so much...sorry this is so jumbled...in a hurry!
