We kicked off our study of shapes by conducting an investigation on how many different ways we could make a hexagon using other shapes. They figured out 7 different ways to put together trapezoids, rhombuses (diamonds) and triangles to construct a hexagon shape. They will continue to explore using pattern blocks to construct and deconstruct different shapes to build their spatial awareness.
