Geometry - Geo City

This term we have been learning about geometry with a focus on naming and describing 2 and 3D shapes. We have been using the words vertex/vertices, edges and faces when talking about the properties of shapes. We made shapes using tooth pics and plastercine, we explored the prefixes of shapes such as deca, penta, octa and what they mean and we spent some time researching unusual shapes we had never heard of before.

We took our learning about shapes, combined it with our own creativity and created Geo City!
We spent time discussing and planning the types of things a city might have. We all chose a building then set to work planing what shapes we would need and what other features we would need to include. We also voted to agree on a name for our city.
This was a fun project that required lots of problem solving. Check us out hard at work...

We were very proud of our creations! We joined our squares together, added some more roads and road signs to create our final product.
