About the store
I am an elementary teacher turned stay-at-home dad with seven years of classroom experience. I have worked with a wide variety of students, from ESL to rural communities and everything in between. All of my elementary experience has been within Title 1 schools and I have a passion for helping every student succeed.
In addition to my elementary experience I have five years of classroom experience in pre-K, ranging from two years of age up through five. As with my elementary experience, these years were spent in a school that predominantly received government aid for students.

Memory Match - 3D Shapes and 2D Faces
This exciting game will help your students make connections between 2D and 3D shapes while throwing in a little competition. Students take turns flipping over two cards, trying to turn over a 3D shape and its corresponding 2D face. If a student makes a match they keep those two cards! For a simpler version you can have students lay out the 2D shapes in one section and the 3D shapes in another. This will allow them to know they are getting a 2D and 3D shape each turn, and will make finding matche

Follow the Path - 2D Shapes
Help your students review the attributes of two-dimensional shapes and locate them in their environment with this fun game!

Rather than following a color students will turn up a real-world example of a shape and move to the corresponding shape on the board. You can support diverse learning modalities by providing concrete flat shapes for students to use as they compare pictures and shapes.

Tug of War - 3D Shapes
This game is designed for reviewing the attributes of 3D shapes and can be played by two or more students.

The rules are similar to "war" so many students will already know how to play, making it easier for teachers to use the game in an independent center or station. The representation of these 3D shapes is pictorial with some abstract knowledge required so teachers may wish to h
