My students are creative thinking second graders. We live in a small, military town in NC. My class is comprised of military dependents and children from low wealth families. They enjoy math and are eager to use tangrams, leggoes, etc. Geometry is an important strand in the math program. My students enjoy working together in small groups and with partners. Recently, we designed a replica of our town. The class used paper scraps and their prior knowledge of shapes to design their buildings. In the fall we went on a field trip to a nearby historic city. While on the walking tour of downtown I focused the student's attention to observe the architecture design of many of the historic buildings, statues and artistic designs and the use of geometric shapes. After we returned each child chose two geometric shapes and designed something they remember from our walking tour. This activity is one of many taught to assist children in visualizing geometry and its importance in our environment.
