Math Monday: Overlapping Shapes

Perspective

M: "Try drawing a rock in front of a ball." 

(Miss O starts with a giant rock)

O: "A rock in front of a ball?

Oh.

Then there. 

(omits drawing a ball at all).

Or I can draw a bigger ball."

This exercise in photos, does not seem like an exciting activity, but as the conversation illustrates, a lot of perspective-taking was going on!

Math and art often go hand-in-hand, so we don't shy away from exercises that include both.
