Attributes

We have been learning about the different ways to describe 2 D shapes. We came up with the following list of attributes:

- type of lines (curvy or straight)
- number of sides
- length of sides
- parallel sides

Today for our math warm up we were introduced to a math manipulative called a Geoboard. On this board students can make their own shape using an elastic band. Our task was to make any type of shape we want and then on a sticky note describe the shape using the above attributes. Some of us had a chance to show their shape under the document camera on the Smartboard and share the attributes with the class.
