Squares

We began our geometry unit yesterday by reading Perfect Square  by Michael Hall and the girls brainstormed the attributes of a square.  They also learned some new vocabulary words that we will be using quite a bit during our unit. (Make sure to ask them what a vertex is?)  They then returned to their seats and had to create squares out of yarn.   This was a difficult task for some, as the girls had to be creative in order to make a square with equal sides. As they completed this task, the girls made different sized squares on geoboards.

We loved our Mystery Reader on Tuesday!
