3-D Shapes

Videos, stories and songs to help Kindergarten and Grade 1 kids learn about 3-D or solid shapes.
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.

Common Core: K.G.2

Learning Targets:

• I can name shapes correctly.
  
• I can name shapes correctly even when their size and orientation is unusual or different.

• learn about flat and solid shapes independently as well as how they are related to each other and to shapes in their environment.
  
• begin to use position words when referring to and moving shapes.
  
• learn to use their words to distinguish between examples and non-examples of flat and solid shapes.
  

Download Worksheets to identify and sort shapes as two-dimensional or three-dimensional and recognize two-dimensional and three-dimensional shapes in different orientations and sizes.

Download Worksheets to create displays of different flat shapes with examples, non-examples, and a corresponding solid shape.
