Teaching the Properties of Shapes? Have Fun With Christmas Math Games!

Once your students can recognize and name the most common shapes, it’s time to teach them the properties (attributes) of these geometric figures. The most common properties attributed to 2D and 3D shapes are sides, angles, faces, vertices, and edges.

This exciting Christmas Game for 3rd graders has been designed to help your students review their learning about 2D and 3D shapes, including concepts related to the following. 

• Number of Angles
• Number of Sides
• Types of Triangles
• Types of Angles
• Faces, Vertices, and Edges
• Parallel Sides
• And more!

This interactive game is a Picture Reveal Activity. To play, begin your learning session by opening the slide deck in Presentation Mode. Each correct answer reveals a piece of an image, making the learning experience both fun and rewarding. Students will stay engaged and motivated as they work through the deck, eager to complete the picture and show off their 2D and 3D shape understanding.

Not only is our slide deck easy to use, but it’s also customizable to fit your specific needs. With the ability to edit and add your questions using the Google Slides Theme Builder, you can tailor the activity to align with your curriculum and teaching goals.
