Explore geometry with your young mathematicians! First, have them color in different two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes. Then take them on a walk around the classroom. Can they identify different shapes using the target vocabulary? Now take them outside, where this gets a little harder. Can they still identify these target shapes? You will have to create a shape worksheet of your own.
