The goal of geometry in an early childhood classroom is to train a child’s mind, hands and senses to understand the properties of shapes, sizes, relative proportions etc so that they can help build the intellect and connected memory for future use.

We combined science with math today and sorted our classroom animals by the type of habitat they live in. We will begin talking about the desert habitat next month as we explore ancient and current day Egypt.
We continued our study of 3D objects with an interactive smartboard game. Click on the photo below to play the game with your child! This site has many fun math games that correlate to what we are learning in the classroom.
We have also been singing a 3D shapes song during group time to help us remember the names of the 3D shapes. The video is below to practice at home!
Happy Playing!
Airplanes…rocketships…battleships…houses! The students used their creativity and their 100 legos to build something they created in their imagination. After building their creation, students drew a sketch of what they created and labeled it. We have some very creative architechs among us!
We have been working on measurement this month during our math studies and in anticipation of some snow, the kids made their own measurement tool to use when it does!
We ordered a variety of objects by size during math groups…we ordered them both from smallest to largest and back again. We also ordered them both horizontally and vertically. We loved the towers the best! Learning can be such fun.
We worked in partners and explored the concept of more and less during math groups.
