Geometry Around Me

I have never been great at geometry and can never remember what each shape is called. Polygon, hexagon, octagon- but how many sides each, I have to refer to textbook. If just remembering the shape names is hard, what's more calculating angles.
But I was very surprised that during the lesson on Geometry, I was very interested to see how much I can remember and I was more than determined to prove to myself that I can do it.
Relating it to the preschool class, children sees shapes everywhere. My 6 year olds are even having fun making pictures and patterns out of shapes.
The tangrams are fun and I hope to let my K2s try it out too! And ironically, I had the most cookies on this lesson.
