Unplugged Challenge: Square

This week's unplugged challenge (square) was perfect, because Blaze had been having trouble differentiating between squares and rectangles.

Photobucket

Friday, he wanted to play outside with his binoculars, so I told him we would go for a walk around our apartment complex and he could use his binoculars to locate squares. For the first half of our walk, he spied things with the binoculars and I took pictures of the squares he found, then for the second half, he took the pictures and I got to carry the binoculars.


I think we made pretty good detectives. Here's what we found:

  1. The pictures are beautiful! Our neighborhood is covered in lots of snow, so our squares are not so accessible right now! :)

  2. I love this idea! Your pictures are wonderful. It reminds me a bit of the book "Alphabet City" by Stephen Johnson. There are squares everywhere aren't there?

  3. Beautiful photos, and I'm definitely going to be using your idea of taking binoculars along - that would make the activity much easier to share. Thanks!
