Math - 2D and 3D Shapes

This term we had a great time exploring 2D and 3D shapes in the environment. Students were taken on a shape walk around the school where they identified different shapes they saw. In the classroom, students used shapes to build various structures.  Our final challenge was to build a shape robot using a mixture of both 2D and 3D shapes. Students were also given an opportunity to present their robots in front of the class as they practiced their oral skills.

Shape Robots

Students created different robots using recycled materials. 

students were also challenged to present their robots to a grade 3 class. At first, they were a little nervous but they were willing to take on the challenge. The grade 3 class was very accommodating and students had fun presenting their work.
