Triangle Square Circle Rectangle

Teacher Notes

Introduce each shape by name. Have students trace each shape and say the name of the shape. Point out the corners where two sides meet. Say: “These corners are called vertices”. Students repeat. Have students draw a dot on the vertices on the triangle. How many vertices? [3] Draw a dot on each vertex on the square. How many vertices? [4]. Look at the circle. How many vertices? [0]. Now look at the rectangle. How many vertices? [4]. Using the colors yellow, red, blue and green, have students trace each shape in the matching color.

Try it together!

Teacher Notes

What is the name of this shape? What color is this shape? Let’s count them together and trace the numbers?

Color each shape to match the key.

Color the shape that comes next.

4 4 RECTANGLE 4 4

Teacher Notes

Have students point to the shape, say the shape name and color, then use their finger to follow around the shape. Next, trace the number with their pencils while saying the number aloud. Ask students what do they notice about the circle? [There are no sides.] What do they notice about the triangle? [There are 3 sides and 3 vertices or corners.] What is the same about the square and rectangle? [They both have 4 sides and 4 corners/vertices.] What is different? [The size or length of the sides is different.] In a rectangle, opposite sides are short and the other opposite sides are long.

Teacher Notes

Listen to the clues. Circle the shape that matches. 1) I am shape with no sides. 2) I am shape with 3 sides. 3) I am shape with 4 sides that are all the same size. 4) I am shape with 4 sides that are different sizes. 5) I have 4 vertices or corners. (Hint: circle more than 1 shape) 6) I am shape with either 3 or 4 vertices/corners. You can circle more than one shape.

Positions and Shapes.

2

Color each shape to match the key.

Teacher Notes

1 Put a green x on the shape next to the red circle. Circle the shape under the yellow square. Put a black x on the shape above the blue square. Put a box around the shape before the purple circle. 2 You will color each shape a certain color. Look at the colored shapes next to the crayon. Use these colors to color shapes in the picture. After coloring is complete, practice using positional words. The triangle top tree is below the circle sun. The triangle roof is above the square house.

Patterns with Colors

Let’s learn!

Circle.

Teacher Notes

Ask students what Flash should put next in the pattern. Read the pattern and touch each shape, “Red square, blue square, red square…. What comes next? Blue square”. Say all shape and color names clearly to help reinforce patterns, shapes and colors. Guide students to touch each shape as you say each pattern. Guide students to find what comes next and circle it. As an extension, students can draw the shape that comes next in the pattern.

Try it together!

Teacher Notes

1 Look at each pattern. Circle what shape or color comes next.

2 Finish coloring the pattern on the caterpillar. Have students touch shape and say shape and color when completing the question.

What comes next?

Teacher Notes

Read the pattern together. Guide students to find the next shape, draw a line to the matching shape, and draw it in the pattern.

Color.

Teacher Notes

What color comes next? Color the shape.

What comes next?

Teacher Notes

Say the pattern out loud and guide students to touch each shape as they follow the pattern. Tell students to circle the shape that comes next.

What comes next?

Teacher Notes

Guide students to find the shape that comes next. Then have them draw line to match.

Teacher Notes

Look at each pattern. Circle the shape that comes next.

Draw. Color.

Teacher Notes

Look at the pattern. Draw the next shape. Color the shape so it finishes the pattern.
