Geometry Throughout the Classroom

2/16/2014

How do you fit the Geometry Standard into your preschool classroom?

Patterning Blocks! Let kids manipulate different shapes. Ask questions about the different shapes. How many sides does the hexagon have? Are they all the same length?

Art! Let kids explore different shapes - this ‘circle art’ is great for young learners who are just learning their shapes.

Building! The kids need to be able to experiment with different three-dimensional shapes. This is a great math concept because the kids can actually SEE that it takes more blocks to build the longer side of a shape.
