Shapes Around Us

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed about their shapes in the pictures they viewed. They share reflections as a whole group. Ask students to watch for shapes around them at school and at home.
