Today we continued our study of shapes with a lesson about composing and decomposing shapes. The first graders used tangrams, a set of seven shape blocks, to make shapes in different ways, and even had a chance to make some Chanukah objects out of tangrams! Tangram activites build spatial sense and problem-solving skills in such a fun way. If you child would like to continue the fun at home, this website offers some interactive tangram puzzles: http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/frames_asid_112_g_2_t_1.html?open=activities.
