We have been exploring shapes. The boys will show you!
Which plane shapes can stack? Which plane shapes can roll? Which plane shapes can slide?
 |
| rectangular prisms and cubes can stack and slide but can't roll |
 |
| a sphere can roll, but can't slide or stack |
 |
| a cone can roll and slide but can't stack |
 |
| a cylinder can roll, stack, and slide |
Then we got to build models with solid shapes. That was fun too! Take a look!
1.G.A.1
Geometry
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
1. Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size) ; build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
1.G.A.2
Geometry
Reason with shapes and their attributes.
2. Compose two-dimensional shapes (rectangles, squares, trapezoids, triangles, half-circles, and quarter-circles) or three-dimensional shapes (cubes, right rectangular prisms, right circular cones, and right circular cylinders) to create a composite shape, and compose new shapes from the composite shape. 1

I'll leave you with this joke:
Q: What did the triangle say to the circle?
A: Your pointless!
