Making Shapes With String

We had a lot of fun making different shapes with a loop of string. At the same time, we used the language of geometry as we explored the shapes.

• Edge (side)
• Vertex (corner)
• Vertices (Plural of vertex, more than one vertex)
• Face

We explored, labeled, and described the features of a circle, triangle, quadrilateral, pentagon, and a hexagon.

 We discovered the sun shining on the ground outside and forming a right angled triangle.
