Geometry Toss – Active Learning Game

This teaching resource is a great way for students to apply their knowledge of geometric figures and their attributes through physical activity.

In this fun, active game students must be the first to toss a beanbag onto the figure being described by their teacher.

Included in this resource are game instructions, 13 two-dimensional figure posters, and 7 three-dimensional figure posters.

• Kindergarten > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Geometry > Identify and describe shapes > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2

  Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size....

• Grade 1 > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Geometry > Reason with shapes and their attributes > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.1.G.A.1

  Distinguish between defining attributes (e.g., triangles are closed and three-sided) versus non-defining attributes (e.g., color, orientation, overall size); build and draw shapes to possess defining attributes....

• Grade 2 > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Geometry > Reason with shapes and their attributes > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.2.G.A.1

  Recognize and draw shapes having specified attributes, such as a given number of angles or a given number of equal faces. Identify triangles, quadrilaterals, pentagons, hexagons, and cubes....

• Grade 3 > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Measurement & Data > Geometry > Reason with shapes and their attributes > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.G.A.1

  Understand that shapes in different categories (e.g., rhombuses, rectangles, and others) may share attributes (e.g., having four sides), and that the shared attributes can define a larger category (e.g., quadrilaterals). Recognize rhombuses, rectangl...

• Grade 4 > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Geometry > Draw and identify lines and angles, and classify shapes by properties of their lines and angles > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.4.G.A.2

  Classify two-dimensional figures based on the presence or absence of parallel or perpendicular lines, or the presence or absence of angles of a specified size. Recognize right triangles as a category, and identify right triangles....

• Grade 5 > Standards for Mathematical Practice > Geometry > Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties > CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.3

  Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles....
