I had fun learning geometry through folding up a paper box. It was fun and interesting to hear how other people explained their thoughts and thinking on geometry. It was challenging for me to explain how I knew a square shape. We are just so used to saying "I know it's a square because it looks like a square." We are not used to expaining our thinking. It was challenging but I think I learned/refreshed my understanding of geometry through the activity.
My question is: how can I make my teaching fun and creative to engage all my students?
I am in a second grade classroom for my Main placement, so I haven't had the chance to teach them geometry yet. I think folding the box activity (or something similar) can be fun to just teach them the concept/idea of geometry.
