Students describe, model, draw and classify shapes, develop spatial sense, recognize and appreciate geometry in their world.
Students relate their everyday language to mathematical language and symbols.
Students learn to describe and compare things in terms of number, shape, texture, size, weight, color, and motion. In the following activities, students are invited to use their imaginations to explore spatial environments and to use communication skills to describe their explorations. The teacher may choose to use only the first two for younger students or have the students do all three. Students will visualize the inside of objects. That's not hard to do because you are sitting.
