We have continued in our exploration of 3D shapes and of what they are comprised. We were given templates to decorate, but were not told what exactly they were for. Our job in decorating though was to repeatedly draw the shape with a new color until the entire large shape was filled with color. This repetition encouraged us to solidify our knowledge of the attributes of different 2D shapes.
Next we spent time together discussing what we saw in each template, and why these different 2D shapes might be connected on each big piece of paper. We were encouraged to think creatively about transforming the 2D template into something new, and soon enough we discovered that we could create 3D shapes! We examined several templates as a class before heading off to create the shapes ourselves.
Finally, we took our 3D shapes and displayed them in our classroom as a mobile. What a beautiful way to display our learning!
