What Shapes Do You See?
Tyson created a picture of his grandfather using ‘shapes’ (loose parts).
Teacher “What shapes do you see?”
The children began to name the shapes they saw. Circles, squares, half circles, which looked like the moon.
Felix pointed to the lines, there were red, orange and blue. Some are teeny, and some are super long said the children.
We decided to sort and count the shapes. We created a graph to help us document the information collected.
What shapes do you see? How might we document the information to help us learn more about number and shapes @NISChina @NISPreKK1 @TinaHua16112229 https://t.co/koqJtBrWLi pic.twitter.com/c1ks4uQvUx
