BOY: We are working with John to make some cardboard shapes.
We started with a big rectangle.
JOHN: What kind of shape do you think we can get out of it?
A rectangle.
Yes.
I'm going to cut this into four pieces.
GIRL: John is measuring, marking and then cutting the cardboard.
JOHN: This is your rectangle.
GIRL: He made small rectangles from the big rectangle.
JOHN: What do we have here?
Square.
If we want to make a triangle, what do we need to do?
Cut that corner all the way down to that corner.
That made two triangles.
JOHN: What could we do with this triangle?
What could we make out of this?
KIDS: You can turn it into a square!
We had a big triangle, and what have I drawn?
A square and another triangle.
- Right. - Two triangles.
Now we are making shapes from the shapes that we made.
I put together two squares of cardboard
and it made a rectangle.
BOY: What do you think it looks like?
GIRL: A bird or a butterfly.
He made a bow.
Tia, are you going to make something?
Yep.
Oh, a house!
- She made a house. - Yep.
I made a bigger triangle
by putting the two little triangles together.
GIRL: She put the triangles together
into another shape, too.
It looks like a slanty rectangle.
Try making shapes and other things out of shapes.
