Also, I love helping them push their understanding of shapes to support their growing understanding of geometry!Īll of these activities come from my Shapes Math Unit from Teachers Pay Teachers. I love teaching shapes in kindergarten! I love to have them do fun activities during math and throughout the day. This pushes their understanding and is way more meaningful than if I just came out and told them that triangles must have 3 sides and 3 corners. So, then I drew some non-triangles in a different color and asked if these are not triangles, then what is the rule to be a triangle. After much discussion I told them that they were actually all triangles. Some students always say that some of the shapes are not triangles, because they had different size lines. So, one lesson that can really help push their understanding is to draw the different types of triangles and ask what they notice and what they wonder. They almost never see isosceles or scalene triangles. The only shapes our students ever really see are the regular shapes, especially including the equilateral triangle. An important lesson when teaching shapes in kindergarten is the idea of irregular shapes. ![]()
