What educators are saying

Thank you for developing this fantastic resource! My students adore it! I utilize it for small groups, bell ringers, or independent work.

My students LOVED this activity. They told me I was the best teacher ever when we did this. I used marshmallows instead of playdough.

Description

Are you looking for some engaging STEM ideas to incorporate into building geometry skills with 2D and 3D Shapes? I have you covered with these Build A Shape Mats! Print and laminate. Students build shapes with toothpicks and molding dough (you can use marshmallows or gumdrops instead), count the toothpicks, sides, vertices, and trace the words!

CCSSK.G.A.2

Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

CCSSK.G.A.3

Identify shapes as two-dimensional (lying in a plane, “flat”) or three-dimensional (“solid”).

CCSSK.G.B.4

Analyze and compare two- and three-dimensional shapes, in different sizes and orientations, using informal language to describe their similarities, differences, parts (e.g., number of sides and vertices/“corners”) and other attributes (e.g., having sides of equal length).

CCSSK.G.B.5

Model shapes in the world by building shapes from components (e.g., sticks and clay balls) and drawing shapes.

CCSS1.G.A.1

Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes.
