Polygons!

This week we are learning about cool polygons like rectangles, quadrilaterals, and parallelograms.

Can you say "parallelogram" 5 times fast?

Didn't think so.

Ahem...

We added ten new words to our notebook and talked about what they mean. Check your k-mail for the printable math notebook pages.

Cut out out the words and glue them into your notebook. You will notice that some of the words do not have images. That's because you will add them yourself! You can color them too... and add happy faces.

Here is my notebook, if you'd like to see the format. You can click on the images to enlarge them.

The shapes are to be cut out and glued into your notebook as well. Glue the backside of the cutout to your notebook page, so the shape opens up. Inside each shape, write 3 new vocabulary  words to describe it.

Woooaaahhh...Woooaaahhh... I'm Quad-ri-later-al... Quad-ri-later-al...

In class, we learned some important vocabulary words we could use to describe a polygon:

Plane, parallelogram, congruent, quadrilateral

to name a few.

Below you will find  our lovely Polygon Brainstorm.
