Squares and Rectangles

We are learning about different shapes in math. Today, we compared a rectangle and a triangle. We found out that they are similar because they both have four corners and four sides, and that they are different because a rectangle's sides are not equal like a square, a rectangle has two long sides and two short sides. We also created rectangles and squares using marshmallows and toothpicks. After we made the shapes we went on a shape hunt around our classroom. Great job, math friends!
