What educators are saying
Highly engaging for my students! It did challenge them a bit to make the shapes, but once they figured it out, they were off and running! Totally motivating as well, knowing they would eat the pieces as a snack when we were finished with the lesson!
My students loved this activity. When they were building shapes with this activity, it helped them to describe the shapes attributes.
Description
This would be a lovely addition to your math center.
Use marshmallows or Playdoh balls with toothpicks to create these shapes. And of course your children can also try to create their own structures!
Shapes included:
-square
-triangle
-rectangle
-rhombus
-hexagon
-octagon
-star
Make multiple sets. Laminate and put on a ring for each student as a construction guide.
