Centimeter Dot Paper - Standard
Flat Shape Cards Grade 1
Students lay six shape cards face up. One student chooses two cards with shapes that share a common attribute. They show the cards to the group, without saying the common attribute. All students draw a shape that shares an attribute with the two shapes. Then, students take turns sharing the shape they have drawn and the common attribute. Students get a point if they draw a shape that no other student has drawn.
Students may find multiple common attributes for the same two shapes. This can lead to an interesting discussion.
Variation:
Students can choose a different shape card that matches, rather than draw a shape.
