Ms. Coyle’s second grade mathematicians embarked on a tasty adventure delving into the fascinating world of quadrilaterals! They discovered that squares, rectangles, trapezoids, diamonds, and rhombi all share a common thread – four sides. With creativity and precision, students crafted an array of quadrilateral masterpieces using colorful materials. As they explored and identified each shape’s unique features, they solidified their understanding of geometric concepts.
The grand finale? A sweet treat awaited our young shape experts! Using marshmallows as edible building blocks, students constructed and devoured their own quadrilateral creations, savoring the delicious taste of math mastery.This engaging activity not only sharpened their geometric skills but also proved that learning can be both fun and delicious.
