The purpose of this project is to allow students to use manipulatives in order to investigate the relationships between shapes, create angles, investigate types of lines, and create two and three-dimensional shapes. Students will work at stations using tangrams, geoboards, and D-Stixs to investigate these concepts, solve problems, and discover relationships between lines, angles, two-dimensional shapes and geometric solids.
Keep up the excellent work everyone!
