Math goggles: shapes within shapes

Math Goggles help you notice math everywhere. Help your kids to recognize simple shapes within shapes. Next, use these simple shapes to make more complex art. Use math words as you do so. Touch real objects so you can “see” shapes with your hands, too!

Make simple shape stamps out of potatoes or linoleum. Then make fun compound shapes out of shapes! Potato stamp book via Mathematics and Life on Pinterest. We have a chapter on fractals – special shapes out of shapes – in the Moebius Noodles book.
