Pentagons

I love geometry and love to share my love of it with the children I work with. Below are a few photographs of group activities about pentagons. Some of these activities were inspired by work I saw on The Moveable Alphabet.
 Looking at photographs of pentagons found in nature.


Each child used a few pentagons to make patterns.

The children took turns to place pentagons on this pattern.

After the group I set this activity up on the shelf so that the children can take the pentagons out themselves and create their own patterns.
I have a few more pentagon activities that I will be doing with the children after Easter.
