Creating 2D Shapes

Math: Creating 2D Patterns & Figures:

In October and November, we focused on Patterning and 2D Shapes. Activities included: 2D robots, memory games, patterned necklaces, creating 2D patterns using various shapes such as: triangles, trapezoids, hexagons, parallelograms etc... 

Incorporating Technology at Home:

Curriculum Expectations:

-identify and describe common two dimensional shapes
-trace and identify two dimensional figures
-compose patterns, pictures and designs using common two-dimensional shapes
-identify and describe shapes within shapes (shapes with a geometric design)
-identify  and describe and extend through investigation, geometric repeating patterns involving one attribute (e.g. colour, size, shape, thickness and orientation)
-identify a rule for a repeating pattern
-create a repeating pattern involving one attribute
-represent a given repeating pattern in a variety of ways (A, B, A…)
