New Math Unit is Shaping Up

We began a new unit in math - geometry! These first grade mathematicians have been filling in shapes and building new ones with pattern blocks.

We also practiced counting backwards and forwards with different activities like Baaaaackwards Sheep, Counting Caterpillars, and Purrfectly Fast Teen Numbers.
We ended the week with our first visit to the computer lab! Check out these tech-savy mathematicians and their creations...

Want to try exploring with pattern blocks at home? Check out this website! You can even do a pattern block fill in by clicking the file folder to the left of the question mark (top of the screen).

Other websites to check out? NCTM Shape Tool (free explore with shapes) and Patch Tool (fill in larger shapes with pattern blocks).
