Line or Shape?

Grade 3 learned the difference in a shape and a line this week. We used our bodies to make lots of lines. Some classes even broke out into a line dance! There was the peaceful-wavy-line dance and the energetic-zig-zag-line dance! What fun! In the end we took the start of a line and joined it to the end of the line and made a SHAPE!

A line has a start and an end point.
 
 
When we join them together we make a shape.

Here are some pictures of students completing a pipe cleaner challenge: Each student had to create new things with the organic shape that they made from a pipecleaner: Look at the creative responses!
