The hunt is on! Send young mathematicians on a search for shapes in the first lesson of this two-part series. Each time a child finds a hidden shape, he draws it on his paper, and continues searching for the rest. Perform this activity in the classroom, on the playground, or in any other available open space around the school. A fun whole-group lesson that supports children with becoming comfortable recognizing common geometric shapes.
