Shape patterns is a fun way for kids to practice identifying patterns. Help the monster truck get across the bridge by correctly placing the missing shapes in the pattern. Each round gets a little more difficult and requires more trial and error than the previous. Kids can play one of two different modes: practice or race! Practice mode allows kids to take their time while race mode lets them play against the computer!

Monster Mansion Match - Shape Match is a fun educational game for kids to learn and practice 2D and 3D shapes. Click on the windows of the Monster Mansion to reveal the friendly monsters inside and match objects to shapes or objects to words. Children can play by memory or while seeing the objects. All shapes are supported by audio instruction. Shapes: triangle, sphere, trapezoid, cube, hexagon, crescent, cylinder, cone, heart, rhombus, half circle, circle, oval, octagon, star, pyramid, rectangle, parallelogram, square, and quarter circle.

These cards can be used for many different activities.  The 2-D cards contain pictures of five standard shapes (circle, rectangle, square, triangle & trapezoid) along with several cards containing various attributes of those five shapes.  Students can sort these into columns in a math center or you could also use them for small guided math group.  (Put all the cards out and tell everyone to find a different attribute of a shape that you call out.) The 3-D version of these cards contains shapes in the environment and can be used with similar activities.

§111.3. Mathematics
(6) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to: (A) classify and sort regular and irregular two-dimensional shapes based on attributes using informal geometric language; (B) distinguish between attributes that define a two-dimensional or three-dimensional figure and attributes that do not define the shape; (C) create two-dimensional figures, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons; (D) identify two-dimensional shapes, including circles, triangles, rectangles, and squares, as special rectangles, rhombuses, and hexagons and describe their attributes using formal geometric language; (E) identify three-dimensional solids, including spheres, cones, cylinders, rectangular prisms (including cubes), and triangular prisms, and describe their attributes using formal geometric language;
