Building structures!!!

Good afternoon!
Since we are still focusing on the topic of Geometry and Spatial Sense I wanted to give you a fun activity to do at home on the Internet. We have not done this in class yet, but this website will allow you to build structures using two-dimensional shapes. Some of the things that you may build are cats, arrows, and even bunny rabbits! If you are having a hard time figuring out which shapes go where to build that specific object, press the button that says "solution". This will show you exactly which shapes to use in order to have a finished product. I'd really like you to try your best and when you are finished playing write down all of the objects that you were able to create, as well as the ones that you had difficulty with. Bring this to class tomorrow so that we can work together to figure out those difficult objects!

Parents, the expectation for this lesson is for the student's to compose and decompose two-dimensional shapes (Example: using polygons to show if they can compose a rectangle from two triangles of different sizes).

Have fun!!!!
Ms. L :)
