Publication Year: 1968
Genre: Fiction, Childrens literature, Picture Book
Math Concept:
Classification of Two-Dimensional Shapes
Grade Level:
Second Grade
TEK:
(8) Geometry and measurement: The student applies mathematical process standards to
analyze attributes of two-dimensional shapes and three-dimensional solids to develop
generalizations about their properties. The student is expected to:
(A) Create two-dimensional shapes based on given attributes, including number of
sides and vertices;
(9) Geometry and measurement. The student applies mathematical process standards to
select and use units to describe length, area, and time. The student is expected to:
(D) Determine the length of an object to the nearest marked unit using rulers,
yardsticks, meter sticks, or measuring tapes;
Preparation:
Have either a poster in the classroom or a chart in their math journals of the 2D
shapes that was taught prior to this activity.
Print out a copy of the scavenger hunt and shapes sheet for each child (or as a
table group depending on your preference.)
Make sure each table has these items: glue, scissors, markers, construction paper
Optional: buttons, googly eyes
Description of Lesson:
The students will make corduroy the bear using the step-by-step scavenger hunt
worksheet included.
After reading each clue on the scavenger hunt, the child will find the shape with
the correct amount of sides and vertices and measure it to make sure that it
matches the description given.
