NOTE: For students who may lack spatial awareness, you can print the pages with the dotted lines (the puzzle piece pages) instead of the blank shape. Then, once students have started to build better problem-solving skills, they can progress to the more challenging puzzles. To start, introduce the easy puzzles first. I printed the puzzles on colored paper and laminated them. The REDpuzzles are EASY, the ORANGE puzzles are MEDIUM in difficulty, the YELLOW puzzles are CHALLENGINGand the GREEN puzzles are EXTRA CHALLENGING. NOTE: There are 4 different puzzles for each shape. Then glue your shapes to the page and write how many of each shape you used.Ĭenter 6: Creating Puzzle Shapes (Squares)īuild 4 different Square Puzzles with the different colored puzzle pieces. Record the number of each shape you used for your picture.įirst create pictures with shapes at the bottom of the page. Use different materials ( woodsies, play dough, popsicle sticks, clay, etc.) to build shapes such as squares, rectangles, hexagons and triangles.Ĭhoose a picture card. Use pattern blocks to make new shapes for each page. Students can play with a partner or by themselves. Then say the name of the shape, and cover a shape that matches. LET’S TAKE A LOOK AT THE MATH CENTERS FOR UNIT 9 IN ACTION… This hands-on, engaging and FUN unit will get kids excited about basic shapes! Not only will they become familiar with shapes and the names of shapes, but students will become MASTERS of these shapes as they learn to manipulate and construct them in multiple ways! Therefore, I am happy to share this hands-on math Unit 9 of the Kindergarten Math Made Fun Curriculum with you! Kindergarten Math Made Fun CurriculumĬheck out the other Kindergarten Math Units in action:Ĭlick here to check out the 1st Grade Math Made Fun Curriculum!įor Unit 9, these are the grade level standards that are covered: The task cards also include questions on how many vertices, sides, faces, and edges the shapes have.Kindergarten Math Made Fun Unit 9 is here, and it’s all about SHAPES!

You can cover the graphics for your older kids to figure out how to build the shapes themselves, and your younger kids can use the graphics as a guide. The task cards include both 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional shapes, so you can pick and choose which ones fit your child’s level. You can laminate the cards and use them for geometry lessons. To make building the geometric shapes easier, I have an awesome set of printable marshmallows and toothpicks geometry task cards for you to download. Off into your kids’ bellies they go! Building with Toothpicks and Marshmallows Printable Plus, it doesn’t hurt that sometimes you find marshmallows that are too small to use for building shapes.
If your kids are resisting learning geometry, this is the way to introduce 2D and 3D shapes to them! My kids jumped on this activity right away and wanted to build all kinds of structures with marshmallows and toothpicks. For kindergarteners and first graders, you can explore 3D shapes like different prisms and pyramids and count how many faces and edges each shape has. For preschoolers, you can teach them basic 2D shapes like triangles, rectangles, and squares, and even introduce to them the concept of sides and vertices (corners).
