Geometry Toss - Active Learning Game

In 2-D Shapes 3-D Figures Geometry Mathematics

PDF | 21 pages|Grades: K, 1 - 5

An active game that encourages learning through a physical setting.

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.

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.
In Grade 1 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.
In Grade 2 Standards for Mathematical Practice 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...
In Grade 3 Standards for Mathematical Practice Measurement & Data Geometry Reason with shapes and their attributes
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.
In 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.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.
In Grade 5 Standards for Mathematical Practice Geometry Classify two-dimensional figures into categories based on their properties
CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.K.G.A.2
Correctly name shapes regardless of their orientations or overall size.
In Kindergarten Standards for Mathematical Practice Geometry Identify and describe shapes
