This week we have begun our study of Geometry. I am using Investigations as a primary resource. I absolutely love this unit. My students are extremely engaged as they manipulate shapes. Our objectives for this unit include recognizing defining attributes of certain shapes and partitioning shapes into halves and fourths. It is so incredible watching as students use the experience of making various shapes with smaller shapes to give them the background to actually see the shapes inside of others. This is exactly what they need in order to "partition." I'm looking forward to more engaging activities as our study continues.
