      This activity not only helps students with shape recognition, it also helps improve fine motor skills with practice cutting and arranging the shapes into the mural.

    Celebrate the 100th day of school by creating a math-inspired mural! Count shapes all the way up to 100 for each day of school that has gone by this year. Creating a mural is a great way to celebrate this special school milestone while also learning about important art and math concepts. Students will explore geometry, patterns, scale, and symmetry and use creative thinking and problem solving as they immerses themselves in the wonderful world of art and mural making. As he cuts out his shapes, he'll practice counting, shape recognition, and develop those fine motor skills, too!

      This activity can be used by younger grades by decreasing the amount of shapes used. To make the activity harder for students have them draw their own shapes using a ruler, compass, and/or protracter. Students could also find the angle measurements of the shapes. For students who need more help divide the shapes into their own categories so all the students will have to do is paste the shapes onto the page in their seperate categories. Students could also work in groups or pairs.
  • Amanda McCarthy on 01 Feb 12
     
    The purpose of this lesson is to help students mentally organize 19 shape names. The lesson is basically a reinforcing lesson-it should not be taught until after students have had some exposure to most of the shape names mentioned in this lesson.

      Students who are more advanced can write down the name of the shape they made. When blowing bubbles the students could also count how many bubbles they were able to make with each shape and write that number down. ELL students could practice just making the shapes with pipe cleaners. Students who are farther behind could work with other students in creating different shapes, but after that they could blow their own bubbles outside. The students could also skip the bubble blowing and just create shapes with pipe cleaners and glue these on paper to create a pipe cleaner shape display. Older students could also do this activity with more advanced shapes.

    Fun activity to practice making shapes with pipe cleaners and then using them to blow bubbles.

      4.G.2 "Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles." This activity can be modified for ELL students, gifted students, etc. by using fewer shapes, as well as shapes that are easier to identify. In the other sense, it can be modified to include more shapes that are more difficult to identify. This activity could also be used in other subject areas, such as science. It could be used to identify different classifications of plants and animals. It could also be used in foreign language. The students could read a vocabulary word in the foreign language, and then have to say the correct vocabulary work in English.
  • Ashley Stewart on 30 Jan 12
     
    Children make a game board displaying different shapes they should know (polygon, quadrilateral, parallelogram, etc.). Each child roles the die and moves that number of spaces. If that player can correctly identify the shape in their space, they roll again. The first one to the end and back wins!

      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.
  • Ashley Stewart on 31 Jan 12
     
    Students will identify and graph different shapes they eat on an every day basis. This can be done over the course of a week.

      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.

    Children use this Twister game as a way to learn their shapes. The children design the game board by drawing several different shapes. A spinner is made, and directions are given to the children playing. Each child puts their hand or foot on the space designated to them by the directions.

      Even though this activity is mainly for 3rd and 4th grades it can be changed to work with every grade level K-6. For older grades you could change the activity to include a wider variety of shapes/concepts. For younger students you could use basic shapes and have them create a picture with them without writing the words. This activity could be linked to writing. Students could create a picture with their shapes and then write a story about their picture. You would be connecting langauge arts with math. For ELLs put them with a native English speaker and have the ELL make the picture but have the native English speaker write the words or story for the picture.

    We live in a world of shapes. That window in the living room is also a square, that steaming bowl of chili is a circle, and the bed your son regularly refuses to sleep in at night is a rectangle. Learning to identify and categorize different geometric shapes is a big goal for early learners

    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.

      4.G.1  Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles, and perpendicular and parallel lines.   Identify these in two-dimensional figures. Differentiation: Pair an ELL student with a classroom "buddy."  This person can help to model the game and walk the student through the directions.  By modeling the game for the ELL student, the other student will be re-affirming their knowledge in the subject.

    This activity will help students find perimeter and area.  Students will draw a card from a bag and then use a colored pencil to draw that shape.  After time, students may flip or rotate their figures to fit on the board but figures may not overlap.  This activity makes students pay attention to precise angles and makes them think critically about a shapes sides and angles when rotating or flipping.
