During extended learning last Friday afternoon, a group showcased what they have been learning about geometry.  Ja'niya and Tavia created Spongebob's truly square pants.

Japheth and Selina drew concentric trapezoids.

Thania and Cassius were the equilateral triangle team.

Like architects, Nathanial and Evelyn used pentagons to design houses and schools.

Dynasty and Danilo used shading and 3D effects on their radiuses.

Scotty and Benito worked hard on their rhombuses outside the media center.
