How to Use This Pack

Each page is a Christmas picture with small shapes hidden on it and a bar graph underneath, one row for each kind of shape. Children find a shape, color one box in its row, and keep going until every shape is found; then they write how many in the box at the end of the row. The pages get harder as they go: page 1 has two kinds of shape on a stocking, pages 2 and 3 have three kinds on a gingerbread man and an ornament, and pages 4 to 6 have four kinds on a gingerbread house with a candy cane, a stack of presents with Santa beside it, and Santa in his sleigh with a sack of gifts, with counts up to 10.

In the Classroom

Model the first page together: point to a star, color a box in the star row, and cross the star out so it is not counted twice. Then let children work in pairs, one finding and one coloring. When the graph is done, ask which shape there is the most of, which the fewest, and how many more stars than hearts. The black-and-white copy has white shapes to color as well.

At Home

Have your child cross out or color each shape as they count it, so none is counted twice. When the graph is done, ask which row is longest, and check by counting the shapes in the picture again.

Tips for Success

Cross out each shape as you count it
Color one box for each shape you find
Start at the left of each row
The longest bar is the shape you found the most of

K.MD.B.3 Sort objects into named groups, count each group (up to 10), and order the groups by how many they hold.
K.G.A.1 Use shape names for everyday objects, and tell where things are with position words like over, under, next to and behind.
K.G.A.2 Name shapes correctly even when they are turned, tilted, bigger or smaller.
K.G.A.3 Tell whether a shape is flat (two-dimensional) or solid (three-dimensional).
