Mrs. Bradley's Grade 2
As you can guess by the Shape Hunt homework that was sent home this week, we are working on 3D Shapes. We started small by building shapes with plastic pieces. After that, we brought it up a notch and constructed 3D Shapes out of newspaper. First students had to plan their shape and figure out how many sides it would have so they knew how many newspaper dowels to make. Once they had that figured out, they started rolling the dowels. It was tricky and we had many frustrated students, but once everyone figured out the process, we were building up a storm! We had some excellent conversations about sides, faces, vertices and where we would see these shapes in real life. It was a fantastic building process!
