Shape Posters

After working with pattern block shapes for the first part of our geometry unit, we have now begun working with a collection of 2D shapes.  Earlier this week we started learning about the word "attributes" as we described, compared and sorted a set of shape cards.  After sorting their shapes many different ways with a partner, students made a final permanent display of their favorite way that they sorted.  They could sort into 2, 3, or 4 groups and needed to be able to explain which attributes they sorted by.
