After the session, activities such as art, play, experiment-observation, worksheets, drama and music are held with children, and the sessions are completed with plan integration studies.

Sometimes when children are nagging us to join them (even when we feel like we have been playing with them all day), they are expressing something important to us. They have a need at that moment for lots of love. We are busy people, with kids to look after, food to get on the table, work that doesn’t stop with the phone beeping, Facebook to be checked, etc. Our kids go along with us on this ride, but sometimes they just want to say, “Stop Mum/Dad. Look at me. Please give me a hug.” Unfortunately, it often comes out as a whining noise.

This lesson has four different activities where students practice identifying the characteristics of two-dimensional shapes by using pattern blocks.  These practice activities should be used to supplement a mathematics curriculum, not be the lessons alone to teach shape identification. They can also be used as a math intervention, center time, or sent home. Attached to the lesson is a print out of paper pattern blocks if actual blocks are not available. Also attached is an activity page for counting and identifying shapes.
