2D and 3D shapes




Shapes!

There are a couple of great websites that allow you and your students to learn about 2D and 3D shapes interactively.

Our tech department also has a set of 5 cameras available for checkout. Your kids could get into small groups (with an adult helper) to go on a Shape Safari. You could give them a scavenger hunt form for them to take a picture of each shape you are learning. Those pictures can be shared in a PowerPoint, glog (refer to previous post on glogster for more information), slideshow, Animoto, VoiceThread, printable poster on Excel (which can be made into a big book)

There are also shapes in the Kidspiration 3 image gallery. Younger children can categorize shapes into 2D or 3D.
