About the Mathematics in Unit 3

We are beginning a new unit in mathematics called Make a Shape, Fill a Hexagon. This geometry unit focuses on two-dimensional shapes. In this unit, students look for and identify two-dimensional shapes in their environment and make a Class Book of Shapes and a Shape Mural using geometric shapes to depict the objects they see. They look carefully at the attributes of shapes as they describe, identify, compare, construct, and represent 2-D shapes. Students also combine shapes to make new shapes (e.g., 2 trapezoids make a hexagon).
