Last week we reviewed attributes that describe both two and three dimensional shapes. Our State Standards require the children to be familiar with terminology such as: straight, congruent, curved, corners, verticies, edges; all the two dimensional shape names including rhombus, trapezoid, hexagon, as well as all of the three dimensional shape names including rectangular prism, triangular prism, peramid, cone, cube, cylinder and sphere. Please reinforce these concepts at home as well.
This week we are talking about symmetry with two dimensional shapes. We'll be talking about symmetry side by side as well as the difference between being congruent. Sometimes shapes are flipped and can be both symmetrical and congruent. Fun learning ahead!!
HOMEWORK: Please find things in nature or outside that have symmetry and send to school.
