The geometry series from Tenth Planet offers software that help students identify shapes and patterns in the world around them.
Students can draw computer pictures using only one shape.
For example, a student can draw a bear using only circles. If available, place each picture on a Kid Pix slide and create a class slide show of shapes. As a family homework assignment, each student with a parent should write three or four sentences describing the event. In class, students can use Kid Pix to illustrate the event. After the picture is complete, the student records his or her three sentence description of the event.
