The past few weeks we studied geometry. We played with geoboards, pattern blocks, and 3-D shapes. We learned about shape attributes (the qualities of each shape), composing and decomposing shapes. Along with this study comes a variety of vocabulary words including turn, rotate, flip, slide, stack, and so on. As a project, we made a class quilt modeled after quilt blankets... ...and barn quilts. Each student used shapes and patterns to create their own unique quilt square. I put them together to create a Class Quilt. Here it is! In case you're interested, the geoboard app we used in our classroom can be found here.
