This week in math we have been spending time working on 2D and 3D shapes. We have been talking about attributes and what makes them different or the same. We like to think that 2D shapes are flat and 3D shapes are fat or more mathematically, a solid. We have discovered that there are so many kinds of shapes all around us wherever we go! We have been exploring pattern blocks, geoblocks and attribute blocks. We have also played games that challenge our mathematical minds.
Along with shapes we have been learning how to decompose teen numbers. Many questions have been posed and we have found ways to explain our answers. How many groups of ten and ones are in the numbers? What does that mean? How did you come to that conclusion? Can you show me what that means? Math discussions are ongoing every day.
In literacy, we are currently working on the digraphs sh, ch ,th, ck and wh. We have been spelling words with these digraphs and sorting pictures that go along with the appropriate digraph.
