Learning Targets
I can sort 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes according to their attribute.
I can name 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes.
Sorting Shapes
Second graders have been working hard with using their math vocabulary to sort and describe shapes. Encourage your second graders at home to describe shapes using the following words: side, angle, vertex, face, and edge. We played a fun round of head bands to help us practice!
Naming Shapes
We are working on using or math vocabulary to name 2D and 3D shapes. We challenged ourselves with some riddles about 3D shapes. Ask your second grader what shape the riddle is describing.
Math Computation
Next week we will take our last math computation assessment before break. Encourage your second grader to practice their math facts at home!
Apps to Try
One of my favorite games has always been Rush Hour. There is a free version of this app available. This game is great for practicing problem solving skills and spacial reasoning. I hope your second grader enjoys it!
