Make geometry interactive and fun with the Shape Sorting Game! This hands-on activity helps students identify, classify, and record properties of 2D shapes and 3D objects, such as sides, vertices, edges, and faces. Ideal for reinforcing key geometric concepts, this resource is perfect for small group rotations, independent practice, or whole-class activities.
Identify which metric units are used to measure everyday items; use measurements of familiar items and known units to make estimates
Compare directly and indirectly and order objects and events using attributes of length, mass, capacity and duration, communicating reasoning
Identify and compare attributes of objects and events, including length, capacity, mass and duration, using direct comparisons and communicating reasoning
Use direct and indirect comparisons to decide which is longer, heavier or holds more, and explain reasoning in everyday language
Measure and compare the lengths and capacities of pairs of objects using uniform informal units
