What do kindergarten, first- and second-grade students typically learn about geometry? The answer: the same thing - recognition of shapes. The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics recommends that one-third of each year be devoted to geometry. Come explore new, advanced, research-based curriculum that helps talented students develop a deep understanding of shapes. As they work with their bird friends at Amazon Birds Consulting, students are immersed in creating, playing, and analyzing shape games. They move beyond recognizing shapes to describing, sorting, and classifying shapes. Participants leave with games to play and challenging questions to provoke rich discussions.
