Grades Kindergarten - 2nd Geometry
Put some feelings into helping your students identify 2D and their properties with this classroom display.
Shifting focus is an important skill. To be able to shift the
attention from one aspect to another helps to improve learning, thinking
and creative efforts. Deliberately noticing different aspects of a
rather simple task may help a child to stay focused and to engage in the
learning.
The
links between thinking and feelings/emotions are often ignored in
school as well as in life. And shifting the focus from a happy face and
body language to picking out concepts such as roundness is one way to
combine both. The idea is to engage children in exploring shapes and
hopefully the learning experience will be richer.
The child does
not have to link their own feelings to the shapes rather they look at a
picture of a sad girl or boy and then they have to look at the shape and
describe the 2D shape.
You will find two display options in this packet.
2D shapes in color and in black-line (you may have students colour in)
Laminate for durability. Display on the bulletin board or on the classroom wall.
The 2D shapes included are:
square,circle, triangle, rectangle, oval, octagon, hexagon, rhombus, pentagon, trapezoid/trapezium
There are also two pages in colour and two in black-line where the
students can look for similar shapes - apples as well as "normal"
shapes are used.
Happy Exploring!
