Geometry for 1st Grade Fun with Shapes

Introduce, reinforce, and have FUN with 2D and 3D shapes in this set of geometry activities! Planar and solid shapes are presented in a variety of ways so that students can explore both 2D and 3D shapes through games, printables, and hands-on activities (build the shapes with craft sticks or play dough).

Many of the activities are leveled, making it appropriate for both K kids and first graders (or choose which option works best for your students). Please view the preview file to get an idea of what's included (though more is included than what is shown in the preview). Aligned with CCSS, this unit supports all of the Grade 1 Geometry Standards: 1.G.A.1, 1.G.A.2, and 1.G.A.3 (as well as the K CCSS standards). The .zip file contains the following (split into 3 files):

❤️ What Teachers Are Saying ❤️

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This unit saved me when my other math curriculum was delayed. I also like it because there are lots of worksheets to use and show my kids work and understanding. There is a good blend of cut and paste and handwriting worksheets. I also like how in depth the lesson goes. The unit covers polygons and makes it easy with simplifying the rules to be a polygon. "

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "This kind of resource never gets old. I can use this over and over."

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Great resource to use to help students learn about and organize information for each shape!"

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "Our math program provides no hands-on activities to engage the children. This resource really helped!"
