Teach your students about the shapes that make up the world around them with this lesson that has them identify shapes in the classroom and in drawn scenes.

In this lesson, your students will break down composite figures to identify 2-D shapes that make them. Students will put together 2-D shapes to create a composite shape.

Teach your students about the attributes that make each shape unique. Use this as a stand alone lesson or as a pre-lesson for Are You Connected to Me?

It’s magic! In this lesson, students will “magically” move shapes together to form new shapes. Clay and toothpicks equal hands-on fun! Tangram challenges are provided for those students who need that little extra challenge.

This hands-on geometry lesson is a great introduction to 2D shapes for your ELs. This can be used as a stand alone or support lesson for the String Shapes lesson plan.
