Get your spy glasses ready! In this weeklong adventure, children will explore shapes and their attributes and use this knowledge to decode a secret message. Children will learn about two-dimensional (flat) and three-dimensional (solid) shapes, and investigate how these shapes can be used to create composite figures (made up of two or more shapes). Making composite shapes is the key to help children read the secret message. Each section is introduced by a video clip or online game that encourages children to explore math concepts and skills related to geometry.
