WHAT WE'RE LEARNING
During the next few weeks, our math class will be learning about geometry. You can expect to see work that provides practice classifying polygons and solid figures as well as finding area, perimeter, and volume.
VOCABULARY
POLYGON -- A closed figure with straight lines.
QUADRILATERAL -- A polygon with 4 sides.
TRAPEZOID -- A polygon with four sides, only two which are parallel
CONGRUENT -- Same size, same shape
HOW YOU CAN HELP
Ask your child to identify shapes of objects in and around the home, such as food containers, cooking utensils, road signs, and building structures. Have your child find shapes in newspapers and magazines. Go on a "shape hunt" and have your child find as many unusual shapes as possible. This will help your child understand that geometry is all around them.
