2D Shapes and 3D shapes!

My math stations this week are so much fun! I almost feel guilty to pull out the blocks, but it is our standard we are covering this week! Yay!!

These are the stations!

Station 1: 2D shapes! The leader goes over each shape and helps students call it the right name.  Then allow them to make a picture or structure with the shapes! We are covering trapezoid, square, hexagon, and triangle this week!

Stations 2: 2D This is one of my favorite ways to teach any concept! It is called the "Unboard Game."  I lay out the blocks, grab some dice, a few place markers and go! Students roll the die, and name the shape! If they get it wrong, they must return to the previous spot they were on.  Play until someone wins or time is up! Whoever is closer to the end, wins! This is a popular game in our room!! (I use this game with any concept! Nouns, addition, subtraction, anything!)

Station 3: Online game with shapes.Shapes! A Geometry Activity

Station 4: 3D Shapes! Go over each shape and the work with the students to build something! Who can resist building?

We do have station 5! It is our school's math online connection to our curriculum! Iready, if you are interested!
