These task cards will help kids get a hands on experience of building some common 2D and 3D shapes. They focus on shapes with straight edges.
Preparation:
Print the task cards and then cut along the line in the center.Print on cardstock or laminate for added durability.
Place the task cards in a pile beside a basket of popsicle sticks – ideally a variety of sizes so that the sides of shapes like a rectangular prism can be made using one piece instead of two joined together. Other
materials such as straws, colored matchsticks and chenille sticks work well too.Encourage the kids to have a go at building the different shapes.
For the 3D shapes provide some playdough or plasticine so that the corners and sides can be stuck together.
