Learn 2D shapes vocabulary in English. Let's see how many words we use to describe 2D shapes ...
This 5-page easy-print flip book allows students to draw and write about the features of different 2D shapes. Choose from 4 different versions, each with an optional blank last page so you can omit the last page and allow students to add a 2D shape of their choosing. The 4 versions are: Familiar shapes – Circle, Square, Star, Heart, Diamond Common Regular Math shapes - Circle, Square, Triangle, Rectangle, Oval Less Familiar 2D shapes – Rhombus, Trapezium, Pentagon, Hexagon, Octagon Polygon Flip Book – Pentagon, Hexagon, Heptagon, Octagon, Nonagon Suggested Use: Print and copy the three chosen A4 pages Students draw a picture of the 2D shape and (if appropriate) can write a sentence or name the key features of that shape e.g. 4 straight sides, 4 corners etc They can then color in and cut around each full box ready to assemble.
*If you want to see what I did for 2D Shapes in 2015 click here!* Week 3 and 4 was all about 2D shapes in math! I like starting with 2D shapes because it is something that most of the kids already know and feel successful about. Here is the plan I made to keep me on track. Click on the picture to download a copy! We started by introducing the vocabulary 2D shapes, circle, triangle, square, rectangle, sides and vertices. On the first day we did the first 2 columns of this anchor chart. I made up and used this diagnostic checklist so that I knew how much the kids already knew about shapes. Click on either picture to download the freebie! On the second day we watched "The Very Greedy Triangle" by Marilyn Burns on YouTube. Then we talked about and recorded where we see shapes around us in the examples column. Here are all of the videos that we watched during our 8-day unit. The Greedy Triangle by Marilyn Burns Shapes Song by Kids TV SHAPES by Pancake Manor The Shapes Song by KidsTV123 On the third day I introduced some more shapes with these mini shape posters by The First Grade Parade and then taped them on our cabinets so the students can use them as a resource. You can find them here. The kids used them as a reference to spell the names of the shapes all week long! Next we worked on comparing and sorting shapes. And then did some problem solving questions to challenge my high achievers. This one is Tanya's shape mentioned in Day 8. Use a name of a student in your class where it is blurred! This one was a tricky lesson but my high achievers liked the challenge! We didn't end up doing the sorting quadrilaterals lesson this year (mentioned in Day 6) but what you do is gather shapes that are half quadrilaterals (have a variety like rhombus, trapezoid, square etc.) and not quadrilateral. Get students to sit in a circle and pass out a shape to each student. Put the hoola hoop in the middle. Tell students you are going to make up a sorting rule in your head and they need to guess the sorting rule at the end. Then ask students one by one to put their shape outside or inside the hoola hoop. The first few will just have to guess where their shape goes. If they get it right I say "That matches my sorting rule, you can keep your shape there". If it doesn't I say "Sorry, that doesn't match my sorting rule, please move your shape inside/outside the hoola hoop". At the end students guess the sorting rule. If you have a big class you can get them to guess half way and then make up a new sorting rule for the rest so the ones who have figured the rule out early won't be sitting there bored ;) We displayed our learning on our bulletin board/wall in the hallway. Here are the learning goals and success criterias I posted with our work: And some close-ups of the "shape pictures" that I put up under "show". My ECE sat with the students and coached them on how to draw the shapes and label their pictures. She had the shape manipulatives out so they could copy the shapes they wanted. They turned out so cute and I was surprised how well they could draw already! This activity was open during centre time. The students searched in calendars to find real life shapes, cut them out and glued them on to the corresponding giant shapes made from construction paper. Here are just some of the centres that were open during our 2D shape unit: Sorting tangrams by shape. You can find these mats by clicking here or on the picture below. Making shapes on geoboards. The example pages are from "Geoboard It! A Fun Math and Geometry Station" by First Grade Blue Skies. At "Shake a Shape" there are shapes hot glued on to the inside of the egg carton. A pom pom is placed inside and the student shakes the carton, open it up and traces the shape the pom pom landed on. This activity can be found in "Backpack Boogie" by Growing Kinders. My kids LOVE playdough! These shape mats are a freebie from Miss Kindergarten. On a different day my ECE put out tangrams and asked them to find out how many tangram squares fit in a square, how many tangram triangles fit in the triangle etc. We also used these shape puzzles... and I finally got some insertable dice so we played this game called "Schoolhouse Shapes" from "The Bus Stops Here" pack by The First Grade Parade. The students roll the dice and cover the shape they roll. The first person to cover their whole mat is the winner! I also put these two games on the SMARTBoard for the kids to play. You can find them both at abcya.com. Click on K then scroll down to "more". If you made it this far, thank you for reading! I wish I could share all of the wonderful centres my ECE thought of and put out but I didn't get a chance to take pictures of everything. I hope that you find something useful that you can implement in your own classroom in this post! What is your favourite activity/centre for 2D shapes? Please leave me a comment and let me know! I am always looking for new ideas!

We have had lots of fun exploring 3D shapes in our classroom over the past weeks. First we reviewed 2D shapes and we recreated this great anchor chart. If you know the original source of this anchor chart, please share it with me so I can give credit to the creator! I love this chart! (This is not my version, I forgot to snap a picture of mine!) The children made great connections between 2D and 3D shapes when they were on one anchor chart. We also sang this song PLENTY of times! We learned this poem (this chart is from Kindergarten Freckle Teacher) and sorted shapes from Mrs. Ricca’s Kindergarten. You can download her cards here. I love this anchor chart too – this is on my list to do for next year! This chart is from Literacy and Laughter. During play time, many children chose to play with our 3D shapes and sorting cards! We had a lot of sculptures being created after reading this fun book! Of course, we had to do the ‘ol marshmallow and toothpick 3D shape activity! The children had a blast with this – especially when they found out they could EAT the marshmallows when they were done! One of our MOST favorite activities have been these AMAZING Geometric Shapes Building Set from Learning Resources. The children are OBSESSED. It’s always a bit of a race to see who can grab these first during play time! I love seeing the learning of math transfer over to play time – and the math talk they’re using….AWESOME! They can be a little bit tricky to snap together (at least for me!), but the children really didn’t seem to have a problem connecting them all! Look at the creations they are making! Since we have been focusing on 3D shapes the children have really enjoyed building 3D shapes, but many children are also using them to build 2D shapes. I am excited to be able to use them to introduce 2D shapes at the beginning of the year. So Learning Resources would like to give away one of these awesome sets (valued at $39.99!!) to one lucky Growing Kinders reader!
