Shapes

Sooo . . . I am starting this blog because

1. I LOVE teaching math!
2. I need to get a head start on all of these common core changes! (My county is converting in the coming school year, which starts in July for me!)
3. I like to make things. :)

My first post is basic. I was exploring the Common Core Standards in Geometry and decided to make some quick and easy signs for the shapes that second graders are required to know the names of.  I decided to keep it simple and only make signs for the required vocabulary so that I will really focus on those terms.

I also found this cool but very simple online activity for exploring 2 Dimensional and 3 Dimensional Shapes. I like how it also extends to discuss how a line is a 1-D shape.
