Unit 2 - Shapes, Blocks & Symmetry

Unit 2 is underway! This unit is part of the geometry strand of our Investigations curriculum. It develops students' ideas about 2-D and 3-D shapes and their characteristics and attributes. Students work on how to compose and decompose the shapes in different ways, and how to sort, categorize, name and think about the relationships between them. Students do in-depth work with rectangles and rectangular prisms and also investigate symmetry. They use a variety of tools, including pattern blocks, Geoblocks, and Geoboards. 

Please look for Unit 1 coming home with students (last Friday). Any pages not done can be done as extra practice at home. Let me know if you have any further questions or concerns. Thank you!
