Learning about attributes of shapes

Students explored shapes after learning about which attributes help define the shapes.  This week we explored geometric solids (3 D), attribute blocks (2 D) and drew shapes (1 D).  Students learned new vocabulary to accurately describe shapes:  faces, edges, corners, and solids.  We will conclude the unit this next week by composing simple shapes to make another shape (2 triangles to make a square or a rectangle).
