This series of lessons was developed to help teachers use digital content to introduce and explore 2D Shapes concepts. Fifteen weblinks to free digital content are provided in a series of four lesson plans. Each lesson plan teaches a specific concept using digital content. Lesson objectives and step by step instructions for using the digital content are included in each plan. Lesson 1 Objective: The students will be able to identify seven shapes and list their defining characteristics includi

This guide was designed to help teachers use a geoboard to explore shapes. The guide shares a weblink to a free digital manipulative, instructions for using the manipulative, suggested uses, and example questions. Students are asked to decompose shapes and change the attributes of a shape to create another shape. Because of the length of the resource, I am not offering a preview.
