After a mini lesson on each individual shape, Shape Ape would instruct the class on the individual practice game that would be played in the shape shack.
The children adore playing shape guessing bag. Students pass the bag around and pull out and name a shape.
A second version of the game asks teams to put shapes on cards that name the number of sides and vertices.
Teams also enjoyed a guided practice game that I created called Shape Bowling. Students use a ball to knock over toilet paper tube pins with shapes. The bowler names the shapes on the pins that are knocked down.
We had a blast in our shape shacks with shape patterns and shape projects created with team work.
Students enjoyed several craft projects focused on shapes. We made Tickles and Tommy Triangles.
I gave a mini lesson on the Oval Office and the President. We made our own Oval Offices.
Students worked in partners to complete several shape comparisons and exercises.
Our room is shaping up with some great team work!
I put stickers on colored paper in the vertices positions of each shape. Students were able to connect the dots and cut out the shapes.
We have been busy with shape centers at every corner. This is a shape rub station.
Students used Wikki Sticks to wrap and create a 2D shape museum on lap desks.
Shapes can be stamped in Silly Putty.
We enjoyed using playdough in shape centers.
I created a center where students use clay in each vertices position. Sides are created using craft sticks.
Students drew shapes in shaving cream.
I used pattern block pictures purchased on Teachers Pay Teachers to create a simple and quick shape center.
I created a center by taping 2D shapes on the floor. Students placed blocks on each vertices. Each block building was given a number for the address. Then, the children drove cars around the shape and counted the sides and vertices.
The students played shape parking lot in partners.
