In geometry, we have been studying solid, 3 - dimensional, shapes.
Shapes that have three dimensions have length, width, and height.
Today Mrs. Ranney gave us toothpicks for edges and
clay to create vertices.
We started out with simple figures, like cubes, rectangular prisms, and square pyramids.
Then we explored other possibilities! See if you can find triangular, pentagonal, hexagonal, septagonal,
and octagonal prisms!
****************
What shapes do you notice?
Describe a particular shape you see.
How many faces, edges, and
vertices does it have?
What shape are its faces?
Tell about your experience building with clay
and toothpicks.
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI liked that we got to explore the shapes and build them out of clay and toothpicks, it was lots of fun. Can you gess which shape is mine? My picture is in the second one. The color of my shape is blue. There is one prism and I also have a sphere.
Sincerely,

Dear Mrs.Ranney and Class,
ReplyDeleteI thought it was extremely fun making shapes out of toothpicks and clay. I really hope we do something else like that during the year. In the picture, I have made a pentagonal prism and a square pyramid. Using the clay, I also did a cone and a sphere. The shapes were so cool that I wish we could have taken them home.
Cheers,
Colin
Dear Mrs.Ranney and Class,
ReplyDeleteI saw rare shapes. Here is the shapes I saw: pentagonal pyramid, pentagonal prism, triangular pyramid, triangular prism, and heptagonal prism.
What did you make?
Too bad the shapes didn't come home with us.
Cheers,
Lucs
Dear Class,
ReplyDeleteI think the best part of it was making the shapes. So far 3d is the best geometry! I have made 1 prism. I have givenit my all on my geometry homework. It is pretty fun.
