Today first grade will start a unit using the Shapes software provided with the Investigations in Math curriculum. This is not a web application, but software that comes with the math curriculum installed on the school computers. The Shapes software helps children develop their ability to visualize shapes and motions, and the affects of those motions, and to begin to think about the attributes of shapes. Today we will use the Free Explore feature in which the students learn how to select and manipulate shapes and patterns including adding, moving, flipping, turning, changing color, and erasing shapes.
