Shape Up!: (Grades 1-2 • 60 minutes) Students will identify, describe, compare, and contrast attributes of two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. They will explore sides, angles, bases, faces, edges, and corners. Using pattern blocks, geoboards and other manipulatives, students will create, combine, and subdivide polygons to create new shapes and designs. They will also experiment with symmetry and shape transformation including slides, flips and turns.
