Geometry


 Second grade students have recently been exploring geometry using special shapes called Pentominoes.  Pentominoes are five equally shaped squares put together in different configuration to create 12 types of shapes. We’ve used pentominoes to explore translations, transformations and rotations.  We’ve also used them to figure out line and rotational symmetry.  Currently we are working on perimeter and area.
