Unit 3… Family Letter…

This week we started a new math unit.. YEAH!    We will be using new tools, rulers, to help us measure line segments, draw shapes and solve for perimeter ( distance around a shape).    Our main focus will be describing shapes by their name, the numbers of angles and the number of sides that they have.  We will also be investigating 3-Dimensional shapes and using BIG geometry terms such as, faces, prism and area.     We are SUPER excited about our measurement study!!!!   Here is a copy of the most recent parent letter:
