Shapes

We are continuing to explore and sort different shapes in room 5a. At level 1 geometry the students
have to work on sorting shapes based on one feature - size, colour, shape, etc. The activity shown above came from an idea I saw on Pinterest and the students had to find classroom objects and sort them into specific shapes.
They really enjoyed this activity and allowed us to have a discussion about the difference between a square and a rectangle. As you can see from the pictures above, they didn't manage to find anything in the classroom which was triangular.


We also worked on a shape identifying activity called 'Roll a Robot'. Again this activity came from something I saw on Pinterest. Students have to roll a dice and each number relates to a shape on the robot which they colour in. Here is the worksheet I created for my class.
