Making Shapes From Shapes cover: nine colored shapes and directions to join simple shapes into larger shapes
Read the example question aloud before handing out the shape sets
Composing shapes: 20 red circles for students to cut out and combine with other pieces to build larger shapes
Print on cardstock so the circles hold up to handling
Composing shapes: 30 orange triangles for students to cut out and join with full sides touching to form new shapes
Manipulatives for small-group shape building
Composing shapes: 35 blue pentagons for students to cut out and fit side to side while making larger shapes
Extra pieces for a math center bin
Composing shapes: 30 yellow squares to cut out and place side by side to build rectangles and bigger squares
Laminate for repeated use at the math table
Composing shapes: 20 green rhombuses for students to cut out and join edge to edge into larger figures
Pair with the orange triangles for hands-on exploration
Composing shapes: 16 dark blue rectangles to cut out and join along full sides to make longer rectangles
Partner work: build a shape and have a classmate name it
Composing shapes: two rows of thin brown strips to cut apart and arrange together into rectangles and squares
Cut these ahead of time; narrow strips are tricky for small hands
Composing shapes: 12 wide green triangles to cut out and pair along matching sides, as in the cover's example
Use for the modeled example in the opening demonstration
Composing shapes: 16 pink hexagons to cut out and compare with shapes built from smaller pieces
