As you saw the other night, my students have been learning about shapes and geometry! I posted this anchor chart picture last week.
Today, we began studying the rules of polygons. We talked about the rules of polygons:
A shape that has three or more straight edges.
The edges meet their corners...no gaps!
We made polygons using straws (thin) and twist-ties.

Tomorrow, we'll learn about 3-D shapes! Look for a post about them in the next day or two!

This looks like a great activity. I'd like to do this with my kids. Can you tell me how the red and white pieces are connected, please.
