3D shapes and 100's day!!!

We are in the middle of our 3D shape unit right now! Thank you to all the parents who helped and sent in items for each shape. We started this unit with 2D shapes and talked about the different attributes of circles, triangles, squares, rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons. The kindergartners did some really great thinking with their math journals and had to problem solve ways to make each shape. Check out what they did...

 
We learned that you cannot fill a circle with squares because a circle does not have any straight sides or corners!
 
But here are some things you can make with squares...

 
We practiced making shapes with other shapes -



 
Here are a few of our cones the kids brought for 3D shape sharing!

 
We also shared cubes, cylinders, and sphere!


Our 100th day of school was so much fun! First we made necklaces with froot loops. We had to count out 10 groups of 10 and string them on our necklaces! Check out these kids hard at work;)



 


 
We also made our 100's day snack. Thank you to all the parents who sent in part of this snack! We had to count our 10 groups of 10 snack foods.
 

 
Here we are after our fun filled 100's day!
 
 
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by!
