Some of our math standards in the current unit on shapes and fractions involve using position words to describe location and relationship. We spent some math time this week looking at the abstract art of Wassily Kandinsky and a few others. We made careful observations and practiced using position words such as left, right, down, up, top, bottom, between and middle. Students also named types of lines and shapes, size and color. We learned about parallel and intersecting lines as well as how shapes can overlap. Ask your child about playing "Pass the Painting" and about creating a group mural of lines and shapes. Next week we will reflect on this process and write down some of the observations we made using position words.
