Geometry

Binky is working on geometry right now.

I made this little graph paper book for him.

We've learned about 90* angles.

Love the smiley face!

And angles of different degrees using a protractor.

We learned how to mark different lines.

And looked at different shapes and all their fun names!

I like "trapezoid."

Binky loves playing with tanagrams.

He will sit for hours making designs and creatures,

like a fish

and a snail.

Both kids like to make mandalas with the tanagrams.

I found  this amazing lesson to make learning geometry more interesting since the kids

already enjoy making their own mandalas.

Even though the kids are 9 and 11, I like to work with them together as much as possible.

It makes my life easier.  When they are getting along, that is!
