Create an African Flag Notebook - 1 views

      This can be used as a cross-curricular activity, extending to social studies. The class can explore flags from several different countries, or choose one country to focus on. The students can learn about why countries have flags and what the shapes and colors represent.

      K.G.1 "Describe objects in the environment using names of shapes, and describe the relative positions of these objects using terms such as above, below, beside, in front of, behind, and next to." K.G.2 "Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size."
  •  
    Employ the flags of the world to introduce mathematical concepts like shapes, colors, lines, and the idea of following sequential directions. In this activity, kids create an African flag notebook, but to do so, they need to use math...and drawing skills! This engrossing activity provides an opportunity to discuss and research the different countries of Africa, plus kids have a cool souvenir when they're done.

      This would be easy to use over and over by having kids focus on different attribute each time (i.e the different colors used, or counting all the 4 sided shapes, etc.)
  •  
    K.G.4 Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/ "corners") and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length). Sticky Note: this would be easy to use over and over by having kids focus on different attribute each time (i.e the different colors used, or counting all the 4 sided shapes, etc.).

      This would be great to use in an ELL classroom as a way of using vocabulary such as "above", "below" etc and color so that it becomes a following the instructions game where the person is telling you where to put your pattern block. In this case the picture would be the key and the child could make the shape on a blank table.

    Print all pages on cardstock and laminate. Students use pattern blocks to recreate the images. K.G.6: Compose simple shapes to form larger shapes. Sticky Note: This would be great to use in an ELL classroom as a way of using vocabulary such as "above", "below" etc and color so that it becomes a following the instructions game where the person is telling you where to put your pattern block. In this case the picture would be the key and the child could make the shape on a blank table.

Activity Plan 3-4: Scrumptious Shapes | Scholastic.com - 1 views

      K.G.2 "Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size." This activity can be modified for ELL students by having them draw a picture of the shapes they see in their food, rather than writing the word on the graph. The gifted students can be challenged by having them give examples of other things they see in their every day lives that are shapes, not just food. This activity can be used for the older ages by having them identify different angles or more complex shapes, such as parallelograms.
  •  
    Students will identify and graph different shapes they eat on an every day basis. This can be done over the course of a week.

      Extensions: (math/art/language arts/social studies) Use alphabet letters with numbers to count/ represent how many of the same objects are in the picture (sample: 6 branches on the tree) Adaptations: Give Special Ed students option of markers or crayons.  Allow ESL students to draw pictures from their cultural environment.
