making shapes- iPad Geoboard

The First Grade Butterflies are learning about shapes!

The Butterfly Mathematicians have been exploring the attributes of shapes and learning to identify, compare, and contrast shapes by sides and points.

The Butterflies explored shapes on a geoboard using the Geoboard iPad app!
The first graders created shapes by name (ex: "rectangle"), created shapes by attributes (ex: "3 sides and 3 points"), and defined shapes by attributes (ex: "I made a trapezoid. It has 4 sides and 4 points with 1 short and 1 long side and 2 diagonal sides").
