7th grade math anyone?
Rain for three consecutive days had me digging through the depths of the craft cabinet to pull out anything we hadn't seen in awhile. Enter "Magnetix". Who isn't up for a little geometry when it's pouring buckets outside?!Once the kids got started, they didn't stop. And I was trying to relax and read my book (The Kite Runner- very good) since Caden was sleeping but when Gabriel proclaimed his pentagon a hexagon, I had to step in. However I was unaware my nonchalant correction of the proper term would spark an interest in the boy that various sided figures had different names and so ended my book session.Though it wasn't until he was making 7 (heptagon), 9 (nonagon) and 11 (undecagon) sided figures that I had to jump on Google for some answers. (Who knew the boy identified with odd numbers!?)Simone stuck to making quadrilaterals, specializing in rectangles with trapezoid tendencies.
