Our first grade mathematicians are enjoying learning all about Geometry. The children explored triangles, combined shapes to make hexagons. They explored polygons and quadrilaterals. The children also took turns describing shapes and investigating different ways of categorizing shapes. They are presently preparing to create their own shape posters.

| Out with Rebecca looking for nests, listening for birds....... |
 |
| What kind of materials did birds use to make these nests? |
 |
| Looking closely! |
 |
| Making observational drawings of nests |
 |
| Looking at pictures and reading about birds |
 |
| What do we notice? |
 |
| exploring drawing triangles on dot paper |
 |
| How many different shapes can I use to fill in hexagons? |
 |
| How many triangles can I draw on this dot paper? |
 |
| I think I drew a very nice triangle! |
 |
| Triangles can look different! |
 |
| What fun! |
 |
| Not easy but I did it! It looks like a triangle! |
 |
| Categorizing shapes according to specific rules takes some thinking! |
 |
| I'm cutting out shapes so I can sort them and make my own shape poster. |
 |
| Taking my turn writing the morning message is so much fun! |
