Animoto Project
We start a new unit on shapes in math this week. The students need to identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, and hexagons by the number of sides and angles each shape has. This unit covers Common Core Standard 2.G.A.1 Reasoning with Shapes and Their Attripbutes. The main focus of the unit is for the students to be able to sort the shapes by their attributes. The Animoto shows the shape in isolation with a definition of how many sides and angles it has, and then there are pictures of the shape in the real world. This will be used to start off the unit in order to introduce the vocabulary and different types of shapes.

Diana, what a great way to open up this unit!! I love that you gave the vocabulary and definition, but then went in and put in real like objects that have this shape!! What a great way to make your students aware of the shapes around them!!!
