Digital project ideas for learning about shapes in the primary grades!
Use these examples of math projects for shape created by primary students to inspire technology integration in your classroom.
Creative use of tools like Wixie engages students in the curriculum and builds essential skills for the digital age.
Identifying Shapes
Students categorize objects in their environment into basic shapes.
Lesson plan
Composite Shapes
Standards for Kindergarten state that students “model shapes in the world by drawing shapes (K.G.B.5) and composing simple shapes to form larger shapes (K.G.B.6).”
Give students choice
Use this choice board to put students in charge of how they will explore shapes.
