1.) Using a wide, long piece of elastic with ends tied together, students in groups of three to five, hold onto the elastic and move it until it forms a specific shape. As students move toward each other they can feel and see the elastic shape getting smaller. As they back away from each other, they can feel and see the elastic stretch in their hands to form a bigger shape. Students work in groups of three with the elastic and make a triangle by standing at three different points, stretching the elastic, forming 3 angles or corners. Groups of four can do a similar process to make squares and rectangles.

2.) Students cut out shapes (circle, square, triangle, etc.) provided to them on tag board (or cardboard) and color them. They get into pairs and one student chooses a shape to put into a paper bag. The other student reaches into the bag keeping his/her eyes closed, feels the shape, identifies it, and then pulls it out and looks at it to see if she/he was correct. Partners then reverse roles.

Students work individually with a teacher/ helper for the assessment activities.

1.) After being told a shape, students draw it on a piece of paper and point to an object in the room or outside that is that shape. Students may also trace the shape in a shallow box filled with sand.

2.) With their eyes closed, students reach into a paper bag, and feel the cutout cardboard shape that was placed inside it. They tell the teacher/ helper the name of the shape, pull it out to look at it, then explain the attributes of the shape.
