Activities for Teaching Solid Shapes

We just completed a chapter on plane and solid shapes in our math program. I created these activities to give our first graders extra practice with each of the concepts taught in the book.

Solid Shape (3D) Memory

A simple memory game to practice identifying and naming solid (3D) shapes.

Solid Shape (3D) Bingo

Students create their own Solid (3D) Shape Bingo boards and play in small groups or as a class.

Solid Shape (3D) Activities

Students identify real objects from their world and draw them in the appropriate column. They also cut out shapes and sort them as well.

3D Shape Stack, Slide and Roll Graphs

(two types)

Students determine which shapes stack, slide and roll and can create two different types of graphs to show their understanding.

Solid Shape Posters

(with and without real world examples)

These simple, solid shape posters are great to hang in the classroom or in your home for quick reference. The posters come with or without real world examples on each sign.

AFTER SCHOOL LINK UP

The After School Link Up is a great place to share ideas and to find new ideas to do with your children after school or in your homeschool. The After School Link Up goes live every Monday. So, if you are a blogger, an educator or just some one looking for some good ideas, be sure to stop by Boy Mama Teacher Mama (or the other co-hosts) on Mondays and see what others have to share.

We would love to have you link up your School-Age Post (Ages 5 and up) about your learning week after school including Crafts, Activities, Playtime and Adventures that you are doing to enrich your children’s lives after their day at school, homeschool or on the weekend! When linking up, please take a moment to comment on at least one post linked up before yours!
