We have learned so much about 2D shapes.
These were our Learning Goals and Success Criteria for this math unit, which also involved a lot of problem solving. We are learning to persevere at solving problems.
We
will identify two-dimensional shapes and sort and classify them by their
attributes.
Success Criteria:
·
I can identify
and describe two-dimensional shapes.
·
I can sort and
classify 2D shapes by their attributes using concrete materials and pictures.
Identifying and describing, sorting and classifying 2-D shapes:
We
will compose and decompose two-dimensional shapes.
Success Criteria:
·
I can compose
patterns, pictures, and designs using 2-D shapes.
·
I can identify
and describe shapes within other shapes.
·
I can cover
outline puzzles with 2-D shapes. 
What CAN you make from squares??
Composing pictures and designs using 2-D shapes:
We composed and described pictures and designs using 2-D shapes (and made charts of which shapes we used):
We solved some open ended problems using shapes:
We have also been exploring shapes in art and are learning the difference between geometric shapes and organic shapes.
