Five pages about solid shapes. Page 1 matches six solids to their names. Page 2 shows a shape and three everyday things, and students circle the one with that shape. Page 3 is a castle built from blocks, with a table for how many cubes, rectangular prisms, cylinders, cones, pyramids, and spheres it uses. Page 4 shades one face of a solid, and students circle its flat shape: circle, square, rectangle, or triangle. Page 5 asks whether each solid can roll and whether it can stack.
Pass around real blocks, balls, cans, and boxes before page 1 and name each shape together. Before page 5, let students test it: roll each solid down a book and try to stack two of the same. For page 4, press a block into play dough or trace around it to see the flat shape of a face.
Go on a shape hunt in the kitchen: a can is a cylinder, a cereal box is a rectangular prism, an orange is a sphere. Build a tower from toy blocks and count each kind of shape in it, like the castle on page 3.
