Whatever your politics, the viral @lindseygrahamsc pic making the rounds is the best example of the classical #fibonacci #goldenratio of composition since that photo of the brawling Ukrainian legislators a couple of years ago. No, really. . #art #math #mathisart https://www.instagram.com/p/BokZNFSAnaj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1fb3zijzbokwf

3D Shapes

Munchkin is getting better at her pet shop so much so that she can do it in under 20 minutes if she has 6 customers (max number) that day.  Because of that we can explore other math concepts.  Today we worked on 3d shapes and some critical thinking.  I got the plastic shapes at a used homeschool book sale.  Sorry I don’t know the brand or where to find them.  The cardboard cut outs I got at the dollar tree one day a long time ago.  I’m sure they have them occasionally in the school section.  Or you can print off the shapes online.  I set up the activity like this: (note the colors don’t match up)

We did the cone together.  After that...she was left to think.  (As usual I was available for assistance if needed.)  I love being a fly on the wall.  There were times she cheered for herself on difficult shapes.  Once she completed her task she called me over.  I then gave her a camera to take pictures of her awesomeness.  These are the pictures she took:

Next on the list...drawing 3d shapes!  Busy girl...busy day!
