What Shape Am I?

Today our mathematicians played a new math game called, "What Shape Am I?" In partners, children took turns being the "caller" and drawing a shape card from a paper bag and without showing it to his/her partner. Then, by looking at the shape, the caller had to name the different attributes of that shape, while the partner used the clues given to make a reasonable guess. For example, "I have 4 straight sides... I have 2 short sides and 2 long sides... I have 4 vertices... What am I?"

The kids really had fun with this game. Try playing this game with your child this weekend and see how many shapes they know.
