We had so much fun today in math! Ask your child what 3-D shape he/she made with play dough and straws/sticks! We worked so hard to make cubes and the class demonstrated amazing perseverance. Unfortunately, the cubes did not stay together very well! Many children also tried pyramids, with much more success. Some children worked individually and some worked in pairs, but all were extremely focused on the task. Here are some pictures of our math challenge today!
This activity helped children understand how several squares put together make a cube. A cube has 6 square faces. A pyramid has a square base and triangle faces. We didn't quite get to counting all of the edges and vertices today (sides and corners in a 2-dimensional object)!
