Learning objective
What this activity builds
Classify shapes by name and apply a coloring rule accurately across a mixed set.
Worked example
Color every triangle. What should happen to a square?
Leave the square uncolored.
The rule selects shapes with three sides; a square has four, so it is not part of the target set.
Teaching notes
Make the practice count
- Have the learner point to all targets before coloring.
- Use shape names and attributes together instead of relying on a sample color.
