SHAPES, SHAPES, SHAPES!

Today we began to discover the many attributes a shape can have.  We know the names of shapes, but we went even further.  Triangles have three sides, three corners, straight sides, and they are closed.  A closed shape is complete, while an open shape has a gap somewhere along an edge.  There are shapes that we can name and shapes that have no names yet.  We even came up with a new definition for an open shape: a shape that is open to getting a name.  Pretty clever!

Stay tuned as we study geometry through shapes, categorizing shapes, time, and fractions.
