Math Activeness Thursday: Composite Shapes

Hi everyone!  I was working on around TpT products as well as trying to align them alongside Common Core math codes as well as I was happy to run across 1.G.A.2 mentioned composite shapes--in 1st grade.  I know my kids honey to brand designs alongside tangrams as well as using a geoboard alongside rubberbands (even every bit an adult I detect it fun--okay, I actually honey shapes.  I intend it comes alongside beingness a teacher.)

Now onto an reckon you lot tin produce alongside graph newspaper or a geoboard--I did mine alongside graph newspaper as well as hence I could colouring textile it : )

• Draw a funny (composite) variety alongside solely guide lines connecting at the graph newspaper intersections.
• You tin say students that Composite shapes are only shapes alongside hidden shapes within them.
• The side yesteryear side affair to produce alongside a pencil or pen is to separate it upwardly into shapes the kid tin identify.
• Color them inwards as well as run across what it is made of.  (If your children are interested inwards learning virtually surface area or if you lot desire to learn that, it would become good here.  The surface area of the squares on the left are non equal.  One foursquare is ane cube, acre the other foursquare is equal to 4 cubes.  It should live on slow for kids to sympathize that the piddling triangles are equal to one-half a cube.)
• You tin displace to run across how few times you lot tin separate it as well as nonetheless brand recognizable shapes.  Here, in that location are solely iii as well as 2 line of piece of job splits!
• If you lot wanted, to you lot could maintain drawing the same variety to run across all the variations you lot tin do.
• Try making your ain shapes as well as run across what you lot tin come upwardly up with...
