Use These 2D Flashcards in Your Lessons

Looking for more ways to use these 2D shape flashcards in your classroom? Here are some suggestions from our teacher team:

  1. Shape Recognition Drill – Hold up a flashcard and ask students to name the shape. For a more interactive approach, let students take turns holding up cards for their peers to identify.
  2. Shape Sorting Activity – Lay all the flashcards out on a table or the floor. Have students sort the cards into groups based on specific attributes, such as the number of sides or corners.
  3. Shape Hunt – Hold up one of the flashcards. Challenge students to find objects around the classroom or school that match the shapes on the card. Repeat for various 2D shapes.
