Product description

From the author

Students will get to show what they know about shapes with this My Shape Book. Each booklet will have its own cover pages. For each shape page, they can trace the name of the shape and write how many sides it has.

Shapes included:

-square

-triangle

-rhombus

-hexagon

-trapezoid

-circle

There is a 2D and 3D shape word bank at the end of the booklet. Pages are printed 2 per page.

Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

  • Identify and name six basic 2D shapes: square, triangle, rhombus, hexagon, trapezoid and circle.

  • Count and record the number of sides for each shape using a repeated sentence frame.

  • Recognize additional 2D and 3D shape vocabulary from the closing word bank.

Teaching tips

  • Each shape page repeats its sentence frame twice, so print single-sided and cut in half to make two individual mini-books, or leave the sheet whole for two students to share.

  • Use the closing word bank to preview vocabulary -- including rectangle, skinny rhombus, and the seven 3D shape names -- before or after assembling the book.

  • Have students color and personalize the booklet cover and name line as the final assembly step to make it a take-home keepsake.

Skills covered

  • 2D shape identification — students name six shapes (square, triangle, rhombus, hexagon, trapezoid, circle) using a repeated sentence frame.

  • Side-counting — students fill in the number of sides for each shape as part of the same sentence frame.

  • Shape vocabulary building — the closing word bank introduces additional 2D shape names (rectangle, skinny rhombus) and seven 3D shape names.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource

Where do the 3D shape names come in, since the book pages themselves are all 2D shapes?

Only in the closing word bank -- the six book pages (square, triangle, rhombus, hexagon, trapezoid, circle) are all 2D shapes, while cube, sphere, cone and four other 3D shapes appear only as vocabulary on the final reference page.
