Diamond vs. Rhombus
We are in the process of learning about shapes both 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional shapes…
2-D shapes consist of: circle, oval, square, hexagon, octagon, rectangle etc.
3-D shapes consist of: pyramid, cone, cylinder, triangular prism, hexagonal prism, sphere etc.
During the years of your child’s Early Childhood Development they call a rhombus a “diamond.” However, as we get into the Nevada State Content Standards, a diamond is not a shape, it is a rhombus which puts it into the category with parallelograms. A rhombus is a flat shape with 4 equal straight sides. At Oasis Academy we will refer to a “diamond” as a rhombus.
This is a diamond… These are all considered rhombus shapes...
