Geometry 3

Trapezoid can be a rowboat, a popcorn box and so many other great things ... but no one knows about her! In this adorable shape song, Trapezoid and Rectangle sing about how she stacks up to other shapes—and why she's just as special as circles, squares and other geometry figures.

In this online shapes quiz kids decide which shape has three sides. Which shape is not a triangle? Kids must use their knowledge of shape attributes and deductive reasoning skills to identify shapes in this tricky geometry quiz. By naming shapes based on sides and angles, kids will deepen their knowledge of shape traits in this geometry game. 

Oh no! Muggo has a few broken parts and he need your kid's help to make a full recovery. The only way to get him back in working order is to have your kid use tangrams to create a target shape. A tangram is a Chinese puzzle that promotes spatial awareness and tangram play will help your kid get a firm handle on shape recognition. What's more, tangrams are a great early introduction to geometry.

It's a hot day, and Officer Ice Cream needs your child's help to beat the heat! In this sunny geometry game, kids must identify 3D shapes to keep Office Ice Cream from melting. If she correctly identifies the 3-dimensional shape, that sun will freeze. Be careful though; if she incorrectly guesses the sunny cube, sphere, prism, cylinder or rectangle, the suns get even closer!

Blast off into space with this Hexuzzle that gives first grade students a deeper understanding of hexagons through seeing how shapes fit together to form a hexagon. Rotating the hexagon gives students a different, simpler perspective of a shape that might previously have seemed inaccessibly complex.

There are nine shapes hidden in this messy closet—can your child find them all? Perfect for teaching new shapes and brushing up on the basics, this game will also help kids learn the attributes of trapezoids, parallelograms, semi-circles and more. Kids will also hone critical observational skills with this “find it” exercise, and learn real world examples of shapes to help recognize them again and again.

For a leisurely lesson on first grade geometry, let your child sit back, relax, and read this charming storybook. The story involves shapes and fractions to help familiarize kids with the concepts and language of basic geometry. Let the narrator read the text, or have your child read to you for some extra reading practice.

Your first graders will love this challenging second round of matching shapes identification. Students will dive deep into shape recognition skills building by sorting through the pirate’s chest and selecting the gems, jewels, and other treasures that match one another. There is a little bit of pressure beyond the depths at which they’re working – there is a timer to beat, too!
